FDA allows us to promote specific shelf life for each specific item.

Your sauce maker / co-packer will know the answer to this question.  Once you process food ingredients you are changing the shelf life of the final products by cooking or adding preservatives.  Proper storage and handling can also affect the shelf life of the pepper mash and pepper puree.

A pH test is a great indicator of your pepper mash/ pepper puree condition.  Taste and smell the product before using it.
