Sriracha scarcity drives prices to unprecedented heights

The prolonged shortage of Sriracha sauce, caused by a limited supply of chili peppers, has led to skyrocketing prices on the black market, with some sellers on eBay offering a two-pack for as much as $120. Huy Fong Foods, the maker of Sriracha sauce, has been grappling with the shortage for the past three years, affecting production and causing supply issues. The company has no estimations on when the supply will increase and is working to avoid future shortages.
