What started as a passion for the best in Kansas City barbecue has led to an entire line of competition-tested, award winning sauces and rubs. Established in 2004, Rufus Teague is now distributed nationwide and internationally for retail and foodservice. Founder, John McCone, insists each product be made with the finest ingredients and be as healthy and delicious as each bottle can hold. Products are proudly Non-GMO verified and Gluten-Free. Why? Because Rufus always knew, “Good sauce makes bad barbecue good and good barbecue gooder.”
Rufus Teague
Rufus Teague is a family-owned, award-winning independent producer of high-quality craft BBQ sauces and rubs. Unlike most condiments that have nationwide distribution we are a single company owned by a single person for the purpose of making a single thing… the best BBQ sauces and rubs on the market. These products were born from home cooking and winning competitions, not made in a lab by some large, data-driven conglomerate that also makes shower cleaner.
We believe that the recipe is only part of the story and paired with superior quality ingredients we’re creating sauces and rubs that are the best our bottles can hold.

About Us :
Established in 2010, The Paleo Foundation was first organized for the purpose of improving the tolerability of the paleo diet, and to help adherents easily identify products that met its basic tenets. Since then, thousands of products have been certified through the Certified Paleo, Keto Certified, and lab -tested Grain-Free Gluten-Free certification programs.
Disclosures:
100% of Paleo Foundation revenue is generated through certifications. We do not accept donations, corporate sponsorships, or financially benefit from the sales of any certified products, product giveaways, or partnerships with industry contacts or retailers for the purpose of maintaining the integrity of an impartial certification standard.
Certified Paleo:
Each certification program has a different set of standards. Certified Paleo is the Paleo Foundation’s first, most popular, and highest level of certification for Paleo-compliant products. Certified Paleo Products are products that contain Paleo ingredients, but may have some 21st-century processing or packaging methods allowing for shelf stability.
Grain-Free Gluten-Free:
Grain Free Gluten Free Certified products are gluten-free and do not contain any grains of gliadin competitive residues. All Grain-Free Gluten-Free products have undergone two rounds of audits, including lab tests, and a final review to become approved for the Grain-free Gluten-free Certified Program.
Keto Certified:
The ketogenic diet is a restrictive, demanding diet that can be difficult to maintain, and tolerability of the ketogenic diet is the single most important factor limiting individual acceptance for initiation. Therefore, improving the tolerability of the ketogenic diet is crucial to preventing diet discontinuation, warranting further investigation into methods for improving palatability, improving the availability and convenience of foods that are compliant with the ketogenic diet, as well as addressing cultural and social acceptance.
The Keto Diet product market may be in a unique position to improve tolerability, especially in social and cultural environments that typically feature carbohydrate-rich “special occasion” types of foods. In 2016, the Paleo Foundation launched the world's first Keto Certified program for products with standards that were developed for adherence to a classical ketogenic diet.
