Next up, Sriracha sauce shortage.

The company started experiencing a shortage of chili pepper inventory back in July 2020. The shortage worsened in recent months after poor weather conditions adversely affected chili crops this year.

Huy Fong Foods, Inc. — the nation’s leading sriracha sauce manufacturer — sent a letter to its customer base in April about the impending shortage, which would directly impact retailers and restaurants.

“Unfortunately, this is out of our control and without this essential ingredient we are unable to produce any of our products,” the letter said. 

“Therefore, all orders submitted on or after April 19, 2022, will be scheduled AFTER Labor Day (September 6, 2022) in the order it was received.”

Other unconfirmed orders are being put on hold until September, Huy Fong Foods wrote.

“We understand that this may cause issues,” the letter continued. “However, during this time we will not accept any new orders to be placed before September as we will not have enough inventory to fulfill your order.”

Maybe there'll be a black market in this stuff.  Check your fridge - there might be gold in there.

  3. Don't care for it, has a strange flavor to it.
    Saw this yesterday, so I went to the wally site and threw 12 BIG bottles in the cart to see what would happen. Went to the checkout and it was ready to accept my payment and deliver it, but I backed out of it. As I said, don't care for it. I believe this is one of those social media induced things.

  4. Living in the Bay Area, our household has been using it for years. We like their olek sambal as well. Both are great on eggs and tacos. There are other hot sauces out there though...

  5. Sounds like some woke bullshit. Tabasco isn't saying this
