TL;DR

A shortage of Sriracha hot sauce has led to inflated prices on e-commerce sites, with sellers on platforms like Amazon and eBay charging as much as $200 for a four-pack of 28-ounce bottles. Huy Fong, the most popular brand of Sriracha, has been dealing with a shortage of chili peppers due to weather conditions affecting the quality of the crop. Limited production has recently resumed, but the company is still facing a limited supply. The shortage has been ongoing for years, and drought conditions have further exacerbated the issue.
