Huy Fong’s Sriracha was a hit but had problems as the name wasn’t copyrighted. Others jumped on the band wagon.
snip.
Issues emerged for Huy Fong in 2017. The company split from its longtime pepper provider, Underwood Farms, over a legal dispute and some people say sriracha hasn’t been the same since. Seems a little nitpicky, but who knows. Maybe it is all in the pepper provider.
Nowadays, there are too many sriracha brands out there to even count, but Huy Fong reigns supreme. The company makes around $80 million in revenue each year, which is enough to buy a whole lot of sriracha. Many companies have tried to get in on the market, few have seen success. You can’t copy perfection, people.
