pH Hot Sauce Ph levels

[chisels]

I just did a batch of Mango Habanero Hot Sauce and I got a reading of 2.83.   Its certainly below 4.0   It tastes great, sweet start then a pop of heat at finish.  My question to the forum do recipes tend to fall into a certain range with different peppers made with fruit?
 
Is this Ph to low?

I don't think you need to worry about too low safety wise. I get 2 on up to the high threes no matter what I use. Not much help but thats my experience acidified sauces.

Unless you go into negative numbers then I heard your face can implode. Aaaaahhhhh.

It's never too low if you like it. Anything below 4 is good, 3.5 is better.

The only thing I would add is make sure your meter is calibrated correctly. Although 2.83 is quite possible, most recipes land in the low to mid 3's.
