Why am I finding Chilli Piccalilli to be hotter/milder than the rating on pack?

We get it, all our Branston fans perceive heat differently – that’s what makes you all so unique (We love you equally though)!

However, our chilli rating has been set with the help of Branston’s chilli experts, who put Chilli Piccalilli to the test and found it to be ‘mild’ on our mild/medium/hot scale.
