Sriracha shortage continues to impact supply and demand.
TL;DR Summary
Huy Fong Foods, the producer of Sriracha hot sauce, is experiencing a shortage of chile peppers due to last summer's drought in Mexico. The company typically uses about 50,000 tons of chiles a year in producing its three condiments, and it's not clear when chiles may become more readily available. Customers may have to look elsewhere for their sauce needs as the shortage continues to affect production.
