Fans of Sriracha are grappling with a new shortage of the popular chile-based sauce as its manufacturer experiences an "unprecedented" inventory crunch stemming from last year's drought.
Huy Fong Foods, the hot sauce maker, told CBS MoneyWatch it has a "limited supply" of the sauce despite resuming "some production" last fall. Previously, a drought in Mexico, where chiles for the sauce are grown, limited its ability to produce its world-famous Sriracha.
Huy Fong Foods' Sriracha features a red pepper base flavored with salt, sugar, garlic and vinegar. The condiment, which hit the market in 1980, has since gained a cult following, selling more than 10 million bottles every year, Quartz reported.
The company's Sriracha remains in stock on Amazon. A 28-ounce bottle of Sriracha cost roughly $15 on the retailer's website on Wednesday.
