Sriracha sauce 2-month shortage announced
When it comes to supply chain shortages globally, is nothing sacred? That’s what dedicated sriracha eaters want to know now that the company that produces it, Huy Fong Foods, has been forced to suspend sales and production of the sauce, according to Yahoo.
In an email dating back to last month, the company told customers it was facing “a more severe shortage of chili” than the last one it faced in July 2020. “Due to weather conditions affecting the quality of chili peppers, we now face a more severe shortage of chili. Unfortunately, this is out of our control, and without this essential ingredient, we are unable to produce any of our products,” the company wrote. The company said those who haven’t received confirmation for current orders will have to wait until September.
Chilli peppers join foods and products like baby formula and – well, just about everything else – that are in short supply this year thanks to the pandemic and the geopolitical conflict in Ukraine.
