What I don’t understand about “Da’bomb” – habeneros as main ingredient, chipotles listed second


I don't understand how it's as spicy as it is. The only ingredients I see on the label1 are:

In order:

  • Habenero Peppers
  • Chipotle Puree
  • Water
  • Orange Juice Concentrate
  • Natrual Pepper Flavoring <– is this hiding the craziness?
  • Tomato Paste
  • Potassium Sorbate
  • Sodium Benzoate

I have so many other hot sauces that list "Ghost Pepper", "Scorpion Pepper", etc., and they're nowhere near as hot as this stuff.

Sorry to give Da'Bomb more "airtime", as I know it's seen as having poor flavoring (I have no idea, I just taste the heat, I taste no flavor from it), but I'm just trying to understand it better as an educational matter.

1 For an FDA-approved label, Ingredients should be listed based on their weight, starting with the heaviest, per https://foodlabelmaker.com/ingredient-list-maker/
