Unhappy about eating hot sauce, company leaves European record stores (9)

I believe the answer is:

databases

'record stores' is the definition.

I cannot understand how the remainder of the clue works.

(Another definition for databases that I've seen is " Collections of files on computers".)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
