Unacceptable, the space must flow! FYI, they announce impending shortage every year.

 

Huy Fong Sriracha is facing a shortage, again โ€” hereโ€™s why

May 8, 2024

 

Supply chain hurdles are putting the squeeze on Sriracha.

 

Huy Fong Foods, makers of the fan-favorite chili sauce โ€” known for their signature green-capped branded squirt featuring the brandโ€™s rooster mascot โ€” has halted production of the zesty condiment after determining the supply of hot peppers was not up to snuff due to the harsh climate.

 

โ€œAfter reevaluating our supply of chilis, we have determined that it is too green to proceed with production as it is affecting the color of the product,โ€ the Los Angeles-based company said in a letter to wholesale buyers, obtained by USA Today.

 

The memo continued, โ€œWe regret to inform you that we have decided to halt production until after Labor Day, when our next chili season starts.โ€

 

A drought in Mexico, where the peppers are grown, could spell a flavorless summer, per experts.
