So I looked into this and my Hatch Diced Tomatoes with Green Chile say the same thing. "NOT GROWN IN NEW MEXICO".

I like their Red Enchilada Sauce and looked at the ingredients. It doesn't say the not grown in NM disclaimer, but red chile isn't even on the ingredient list. Ha. I guess it's covered under 'organic spices' which seems kind of shoddy. I guess I'll stick with legit NM brands which is too bad.

I checked my little tins of green chiles, they don't state the non-NM disclaimer. At least not the "hot" ones, I don't have and mild to check.

What brands do you recommend personally? I am limited, as I don't live in New Mexico, but I grab some NM chiles whenever I can.

Not canned at all, ideally. It tends to have a slight pickled taste. I’d suggest frozen chile if possible and if not that, jars. For frozen, most common is Bueño or Young Guns and they’re fine. For jars, most anything other than 505 is good. Young Guns also has big plastic bottles of chile. There’s a lot more variation in jarred sauce than just chopped roasted chile.
