68 people died from counterfeit vape carts cut with Vitamin E acetate. Thousands more were hospitalized. The grey market had a body count — and nobody was checking what was actually in the cartridge.
We founded Sauce in California with one non-negotiable: you should never have to trust us blindly. So we didn’t build a logo and hope — we built proof into the product itself.
The verifier went live. Counterfeits started getting flagged the moment customers scanned a code. Word traveled the way it does in this culture — through people who actually care what they’re inhaling.
1,000+ licensed dispensaries across 5 states. Every batch double-tested, every package coded, every batch COA-backed. From the Earth, for the people — and provable, end to end.
Six more markets and the Sauce ONE pod system — the most-counterfeited format in cannabis, engineered to be the hardest to fake. The argument with the grey market continues.
We source from licensed California cultivators with verified soil, water, and feeding practices. No fillers. No additives. No “proprietary blends” that hide what’s inside.
Independent state-licensed labs test every batch for potency, pesticides, heavy metals, microbials, and residual solvents. Pass before ship. Internal thresholds tighter than state minimums.
One-time scratch-off codes on every product, hashed and stored server-side. If a code’s been verified before, you know. We share counterfeit reports with state regulators.
Tracked through METRC and BioTrack in every market we serve. Full chain-of-custody from cultivator to dispensary. We will never ship through unlicensed channels.
