Deception Salsa™ Captures Nine Major Awards in Texas, New Orleans and New Mexico

CROFTON, Md. - Nov. 11, 2013 - PRLog -- Deception Salsa™, one of America’s fastest growing salsa companies distinguished by its one-of-a-kind “sweet-then-heat” flavor profile, today announced that it has received nine major awards from competitive salsa contests in the salsa capitals of Texas, New Orleans and New Mexico.

Specifically, at the Houston Hot Sauce Expo in September, Deception Salsa received four major awards, notably top spot for “Best Black Bean and Corn” and “Grand Champion” for the company’s best-selling “Entice” salsa.  At the same competition, Deception was also awarded second place for “Insanity” – the company’s “hot” salsa – and third prize for its “Tease” product – a delightful, medium, traditional salsa.

In New Orleans, at the Chili Pepper Magazine Awards, Deception took first place in the “mild/medium” category for “Tease” and second place with “Entice” for “Black Bean and Corn.”

Finally, at the Scovie Awards in New Mexico – an international competition encompassing 39 states and seven countries – Deception earned three prominent awards.  Topping the list was a hard-fought second place honor for its Insanity product in the “hot salsa” category.  The company also received a second place nod for its website – www.DeceptionSalsa.com and third place for the company’s eye-catching logo.

These rapid-fire kudos for Deception come at a time as salsa continues to extend its lead as America’s best-selling condiment.  Deception Salsa further distinguishes itself from the pack with its wonderfully unique, all-natural, fresh ingredients and a sophisticated yet approachable flavor range that begins sweet and then turns on the heat.

In making today’s announcement, Deception Salsa co-founders Chad Houck and Troy Wadzink stated, “We are honored that a group of demanding, independent judges evaluating the top products in the world of salsa have singled out Deception Salsa for its refreshing and crowd-pleasing range of flavors.”
