Where did all the Sriracha go? Sauce shortage hiking prices to $70 in online markets
Sellers online are jacking up the price for bottles of Sriracha amid an ongoing shortage.
tl;dr: sriracha is selling for ~$40-$70 a bottle due to a shortage of red jalapeño crops, caused by climate change (specifically, extremely hot, dry weather as well as landslide effects from various climate events in the previous years). huy fong says sriracha is resuming limited production but did not specify when this production began or how limited it was.
wonder how they'd be doing if they didn't try to screw over underwood ranches, who are apparently not having much trouble sourcing the peppers at all

I switched to Yellowbird sriracha, it's a little sweeter but otherwise fine. No desire to go back to huy fong after hearing about what they did to their suppliers.
Yellowbird is great!
