Weather conditions affecting the quality of chili peppers have forced California-based Huy Fong Foods to suspend sales and production of its famous sriracha sauce, the company has announced.
In an April 19 email that only recently made its rounds in the media, Huy Fong Foods informed customers that they are facing “a more severe shortage of chili” compared to a similar situation in July 2020. As a result, all orders placed on or after April 19 will be scheduled after Labor Day (Sept. 6) in the order they were received.
“Due to weather conditions affecting the quality of chili peppers, we now face a more severe shortage of chili,” the company said. “Unfortunately, this is out of our control, and without this essential ingredient, we are unable to produce any of our products.”
Huy Fong Foods currently sells three kinds of sauces: sriracha, which is created from sun-ripened chilies pureed into a smooth paste; chili garlic, a thick, “chunky-style” hot sauce with a hint of garlic; and sambal oelek, a “full-bodied” sauce with the pure taste of chilies.
In the email, the company added that those who have not received a confirmation after making their purchase will have their orders on hold until September.
“We understand that this may cause issues. 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,” the company said.
Chili peppers have thus joined the list of foods and products in shortage so far this year. Baby formula, for instance, has been scarce since November 2021 and hit a whopping 73% out-of-stock rate on May 22, as per data firm Datasembly.

They is really cut-up chicken breast bagged up in
Tony Chachere's and Sriracha overnight, grilled on a stick.
Amazing good, cures the Monkeypocks.
LOL!
Sounds good, actually.
(I had pictured you grilling roadkill...)
Use mild chilis instead of severe chilis.
I have 4 jars in the pantry that will last a long time.
Yikes
DIY. Seriously, most folks with hot peppers in their garden can’t get rid of them fast enough.

And garlic is easy to grow anywhere, even on containers.
It’s just a condiment. Easily made anywhere, even tweaked to individual taste. No one really cares.
My crowd calls that cock sauce.
Feel free to enjoy with some good seafood or some beef noodle soup.
FWIW, that bowl cost about $1.55 (฿50).

For shame. Complainers should try it sometime, tho it’s a bit high on sugar.
Yes.
