Apple BBQ Sauce | Fruit Barbecue Sauce, 19 oz

Traverse Bay Farms was founded in 2001 by Andy and Jennifer LaPointe in Northern Michigan and is headquartered in Bellaire, Michigan. The family started the business to share the region’s fruit flavors through gourmet foods and personal customer service. Its stated priorities include careful preparation, consistent quality and making fruit-based foods part of everyday meals. The company remains family owned and uses locally grown produce when available.

Apples and molasses join a tomato-based barbecue recipe with smoke and spices.

Flavor and serving ideas

• Apple flavor selection.
• One bottle with a labeled net weight of 19 oz.
• A bbq sauce for measured portions, meal finishing and side servings.

Start with a small portion of apple and add more after tasting. Serve it on the side when sharing a meal so each person can choose the amount. Use a clean serving utensil and keep any remaining product separate from food already on a plate.

Ingredients and dietary information

The photographed package lists the following ingredients. Supplier confirmation is required because the current online statement differs.

Ingredient statement: Apples, Sugar, Cider Vinegar, Tomato Paste, Molasses, Soybean Oil, Salt, Hickory Smoke, Garlic Powder, Xanthan Gum, Black Pepper, Cinnamon.

Read the current container before eating, especially when shopping for someone with a food allergy or a specific dietary restriction. Recipes and ingredient statements should be checked for the exact flavor ordered. For general help understanding ingredient and allergen statements, see the FDA’s food allergy and label guidance.

Verification pending: The photographed label lists soybean oil, hickory smoke and xanthan gum; the web list instead names canola oil, modified starch and caramel color. Resolve the oil/allergen and formulation conflict.

Storage and handling

Refrigerate after opening. The manufacturer recommends enjoying this bbq sauce within 60 days for best flavor.

Use a clean utensil or pour out the portion needed, then close the container securely. Keep the original label available so ingredients, storage directions and any printed date can be checked later.

For a meal that uses only part of the container, set aside the serving amount first and return the remaining product to storage as directed. Follow the received package’s handling instructions and inspect the seal before first use.
