Our manufacturing facilities do not handle peanuts and its derivatives.

Are there low-sugar Lee Kum Kee sauces available?
Many Asian sauces are made to be savory and rich in flavor and sugar is a good base for the sauce. Also, with food and safety regulations, both the ingredients of sugar and salt are placed in foods to help with food preservation and quality. You can make adjustments in your cooking with the amount of sauce used in your dish.
