Huy Fong Foods, the company famous for its green-capped bottles of Sriracha, doesn't have enough chiles to make its sauce, causing a major Sriracha shortage. That means some retailers are out of stock.\r\n\r\nHere\u2019s what you need to know about the shortage\u2014and when to expect the sauce back on the shelves.\r\n

Why Is There a Sriracha Shortage?<\/h2>\r\nIn 2020, Huy Fong Foods, like many other companies, faced the repercussions of supply chain issues and an ingredients shortage<\/a>. While the company was able to get things back on track and give customers some relief, Huy Fong recently announced that it's facing inventory shortages once again.\r\n\r\nThe drought conditions in Mexico affected the amount of chiles they\u2019ve been able to grow. LA Times reports<\/a> that Huy Fong \u201ctypically uses about 50,000 tons of chiles a year\u201d, and shortcomings from Mexico\u2019s droughts have affected the company\u2019s ability to keep up with production.\r\n

When Will the Sriracha Shortage End?<\/h2>\r\nUnfortunately, like the weather, this Sriracha shortage is unpredictable. According to USA Today<\/a>, Huy Fong doesn\u2019t have an estimate of when it will see an increase in inventory. The company hopes to avoid future shortages, but at the moment, it\u2019s a waiting game on when product will be back in stock.\r\n

What to Do in the Meantime<\/h2>\r\nSome grocery stores put limits on how many Sriracha bottles shoppers can purchase at one time so stock doesn\u2019t run out too fast. But if you shop at a store with a fully stocked shelf and no purchase limits, be kind and leave some behind for other Sriracha lovers.\r\n\r\nIf you can\u2019t live without that rooster sauce on your avocado toast<\/a> or salmon rice bowl<\/a>, don\u2019t worry\u2014we have options. Luckily, you can find plenty of copycat sauces at grocery stores, like Weak Knees Gochujang Sriracha Hot Sauce<\/a>. You can also make your own hot chili pepper sauce<\/a> at home.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
