Huy Fong Foods, the popular Sriracha manufacturer, continues to face a shortage of the chili peppers essential to their sauce due to dry conditions in Mexico caused by climate change. With no end in sight, consumers are either seeking alternatives or paying exorbitant prices for the sauce, with bottles being sold for over $60. Some desperate individuals have even resorted to stealing bottles from restaurants.
