The Signature.
To distinguish the original and genuine Worcestershire Sauce from the many imitations, see that the signature of LEA & PERRINS appears in White, across the Red label on every bottle.
No other sauce has, such an exquisitely delicate flavour, or such a reputation among discriminating people in every part of the
world.
