    I’ve had this stuff before. It’s comparable in spice level to what you’d get from a good Indian or Thai restaurant if the staff actually believe you when you say you want extra-spicy.

    The sauce packet itself contains “decolorized chili extract”, which is better known as oleoresin capsicum in some non-food products. Eating the sauce without mixing it into the soup as intended would be unpleasant for almost anyone, but only dangerous to people with allergies or certain pre-existing life-threatening health conditions.
