Huy Fong Foods told its wholesale buyers that it will halt Sriracha production until after Labor Day because its crop of red jalapeño peppers is not the right shade to produce the rooster sauce.
An assessment of the chili supply revealed that it was too green for use in production because it affects the color of the product. All orders scheduled beginning on May 6, 2024, will be canceled and the status changed to pending.
