Better stock up now!
After stunning hot sauce lovers with shortages in 2022, Huy Fong Foods announced earlier this month that the nightmare is recurring, and for the same reason: A failed red jalapeño crop in Mexico in 2022 due to drought means Sriracha’s key ingredient is in short supply. And that translates to empty space on grocery-store shelves.
That sharp screech you just heard was a millennial learning their favorite condiment is in trouble . “Sriracha is actually made from a very special type of pepper that only grows in the southern U.S. and northern Mexico,” said climate and ecosystem researcher Guillermo Murray-Tortarolo, in a 2022 NPR article. “These red jalapeños are only grown during the first four months of the year, and they need very controlled conditions, particularly constant irrigation.”
“I only have like three bottles. What am I going to do?” asked customer Joyce Park, in a New York Times article about the 2022 shortage. “It’s an emergency but there are other spicy foods hopefully.”
