So, as a newby Im trying to understand the business side of things. For example; if a company sees some opportunity in mass producing a hot sauce, how exactly would they go about bottling and labeling? Are there specific companies that will make the sauce for you if you give them the exact recipe?

There are many copackers that can produce your sauce your way from your exact recipe. There are not many companies that see opportunity in mass producing your hot sauce unless there's another angle to market, because it's all about profit.

All good jbopbr.
Google search string something like "hot sauce co packing companies (your state)". They will want you to supply them with a sample of your sauce along with the exact recipe (if you can get grams its a plus) and then they will do a trial run. You'll taste that, give feedback on it and then greenlight the production run. They will make/bottle/label your entire batch of sauce, though other vendors might be less costly you pay more for a one stop shop. Once the sauce is made they send it to you via freight and you then sell it however you do. If you don't want to take delivery of the whole batch the copacker will charge you storage fees, so you have to match up logistics.
Don't let it sounding hard part of it drive you off. Anything worth having has to be fought for.
