老干媽是一個中國知名的辣椒醬品牌，擁有超過16種相關產品，是享有盛譽的國際調味品之一。該品牌由陶華碧於1996年8月創立，起初是一家小型的家庭式作坊。以其獨特的辣椒醬配方迅速贏得消費者的喜愛，這使得老干媽迅速成為一個著名的中國品牌。如今，老干媽已成為中國最受歡迎和知名的調味品品牌之一，其產品銷售遍布全球，尤其相當受到歐洲人的歡迎。

調味料的主要成分包括辣椒、食用油、花生、芝麻、豆腐、香蔥、大蒜、食鹽、香料和調味料。這些成分結合在一起，形成獨特的口味和風味，使老干媽辣椒醬成為許多人喜愛的調味品。

製作作業由貴陽南明老乾媽風味食品有限責任公司負責，過程非常精細。首先，將新鮮的辣椒經過處理後與其他成分混合攪拌，形成辣椒醬的基礎。接著，將混合物煮沸，然後慢慢地燉煮數小時，以使所有的香料和調味料充分混合和釋放出來。最後，將燉煮好的辣椒醬裝罐密封，以保持其新鮮和美味。

老干媽以其獨特的口味和豐富的歷史而聞名。其辣椒醬產品深受消費者喜愛，並被廣泛用於各種菜肴和料理中。目前有三個生產基地，年均銷售量超過6億瓶。然而，自2007年以來，該品牌多次爆發食品安全疑慮，例如被踢爆腐乳含有苯甲酸及甜味劑超標，以及花生成分可能對部分食用者造成過敏。中國優恪測評網曾對老乾媽的產品給予D-等級，因其含有礦物油飽和烴（MOSH）和鄰苯二甲酸二(2-乙基己)酯等有害人體的成分。

Lao Gan Ma is a well-known Chinese chili sauce brand, with over 16 related products, and is one of the esteemed international seasoning brands. The brand was founded by Tao Huabi in August 1996 and initially started as a small family workshop. Tao Huabi's unique chili sauce recipe quickly gained popularity among consumers, making Lao Gan Ma rapidly become a renowned Chinese brand. Today, Lao Gan Ma has become one of the most popular and well-known seasoning brands in China, with its products sold globally, especially popular among Europeans.

The main ingredients of the seasoning include chili, edible oil, peanuts, sesame, tofu, scallion, garlic, salt, spices, and flavorings. These ingredients are combined to create a unique taste and flavor, making Lao Gan Ma chili sauce a favorite seasoning for many.

The production process is handled by Guiyang Nanming LaoGanMa Special Flavor Foodstuffs Co., Ltd., and it is very meticulous. Firstly, fresh chili peppers are processed and mixed with other ingredients to form the base of the chili sauce. Then, the mixture is boiled and slowly simmered for several hours to allow all the spices and seasonings to blend and release fully. Finally, the simmered chili sauce is canned and sealed to maintain its freshness and deliciousness.

Lao Gan Ma is known for its unique taste and rich history. Its chili sauce products are loved by consumers and widely used in various dishes and cuisines. Currently, there are three production bases with an annual sales volume exceeding 600 million bottles. However, since 2007, the brand has faced several food safety concerns, such as fermented bean curd containing excessive benzoic acid and sweeteners, and peanuts may cause allergies in some consumers. China's Yookeehoo Test Network has given Lao Gan Ma products a D- rating due to harmful components like mineral oil saturated hydrocarbons (MOSH) and diethylhexyl phthalate (a plasticizer).
