History

A concise historical narrative of NAICS Code 424490-04 covering global milestones and recent developments within the United States.

  • The history of barbecue sauce dates back to the 17th century when the Spanish arrived in the Caribbean and introduced the concept of barbecuing meat. The sauce was initially made from vinegar and pepper and was used to marinate meat before cooking. In the 19th century, the sauce evolved to include other ingredients such as tomatoes, mustard, and molasses. The first bottled barbecue sauce was produced in the United States in the early 1900s by the Georgia-based company, Heinz. Since then, the industry has grown significantly, with many companies producing their own unique blends of barbecue sauce. In recent years, there has been a trend towards healthier and more natural ingredients, with many companies producing organic and gluten-free options. In the United States, the barbecue sauce industry has a rich history, with many regional variations. For example, in the southern states, barbecue sauce is typically made with a tomato base and is sweet and tangy, while in the eastern states, the sauce is vinegar-based and has a more acidic taste. In the 1950s and 1960s, the popularity of barbecue sauce grew significantly, with many fast-food chains and restaurants adding it to their menus. Today, barbecue sauce is a staple in many American households, and the industry continues to grow, with new flavors and varieties being introduced every year.
