Huy Fong Foods, the California-based company that makes the well-known brand of sriracha, might experience a shortage of the sauce, as it has halted production through Labor Day.
“Unfortunately, all orders that have been scheduled beginning on May 6, 2024, will be canceled and the status changed to pending,” a letter reportedly read. “After reevaluating our supply of chili, we have determined that it is too green to proceed with production as it is affecting the color of the product.”
A Huy Fong representative told the Washington Examiner on Thursday that they had no comment.
The change in the company’s supply of peppers will likely affect the brand’s chili garlic as well. This follows Huy Fong’s previous sriracha shortage in 2022.
Huy Fong has struggled with supply problems since it broke its contract with Underwood Ranches, which grows jalapenos and has since launched its own sriracha sauce. When Huy Fong was found to have violated its contract with Underwood Ranches, a jury awarded the U.S.-based farm with $23 million in damages.

The Washington Examiner reached out to Underwood Ranches for comment.
Jalapenos tend to grow green at first, become dark, and then turn red during their final stage of ripeness. Their season tends to peak between mid-July and October.
