Sriracha shortage attributed to weather conditions in a single region of Mexico according to executive operations officer of Huy Fong Foods.
Huy Fong Foods, makers of the Sriracha hot sauce with the iconic green cap and the rooster on the bottle, isof its popular condiment this summer. That shortage can be attributed to weather conditions in a single region of Mexico, according to Donna Lam, executive operations officer for the company.
In a sign of how closely guarded and competitive the overall market is for Sriracha and Sriracha-like sauces, Lam declined to specify what region of Mexico is involved, or the name of the supplier. Still, the new information helps illuminate the state of panic sparked this week after word of the looming shortageHuy Fong Foods goes through about 50,000 tons of chiles a year, used to make its Sriracha, chile-garlic sauce and a sambal oelek.
“Currently, due to weather conditions affecting the quality of chili peppers, we now face a more severe shortage of chili,” read a statement from Huy Fong Foods. “Unfortunately, this is out of our control and without this essential ingredient, we are unable to produce any of our products.”The letter informed customers that the company would not be accepting any new orders until September and that customers who placed orders after April would be fulfilled after Labor Day.
. Huy Fong Foods founder David Tran afterward started receiving chiles from growers in Mexico, New Mexico and California.Sriracha lovers, don’t panic! Make your own Sriracha sauce.“We have several sources sometimes, and we don’t want them to know who each other are,” Lam said.
