Sriracha Shortage Persists After One Year

Huy Fong Foods, the maker of Sriracha, Chili Garlic, and Sambal Oelek sauces, is still facing a shortage of raw materials, causing an unprecedented inventory shortage. The shortage has been ongoing for over a year, and the company has no estimations of when supply will increase. As a result, some bottles of Sriracha are selling for over $30, and some customers have been stealing bottles from restaurant tables.
