There are a few reasons why Sriracha hot sauce is so hard to find right now:
Drought in Mexico: Sriracha is made with jalapeño peppers, which are primarily grown in Mexico. In recent years, Mexico has experienced a severe drought, which has reduced the supply of jalapeño peppers.
Supply chain issues: The COVID-19 pandemic has caused disruptions to global supply chains, making it more difficult and expensive to transport goods around the world. This has also affected the supply of Sriracha, as the ingredients and packaging materials need to be shipped from various locations.
Increased demand: Sriracha has become increasingly popular in recent years, and the demand for the sauce has exceeded the supply.
The Huy Fong Foods Sriracha shortage has been ongoing for three years now, and there is no clear indication when it will end. The company has said that it is working to increase production, but it is unclear how long this will take.
In the meantime, there are a few things you can do if you're looking for Sriracha:
Check smaller stores: Smaller grocery stores and ethnic markets may be more likely to have Sriracha in stock than larger chains.
Buy online: You can also purchase Sriracha online from retailers such as Amazon and Walmart. However, keep in mind that prices may be higher than usual due to the shortage.
Try other hot sauces: There are many other delicious hot sauces on the market. If you can't find Sriracha, try experimenting with other varieties to find one that you like.
