This morning I used up my second-to-last bottle of Huy Fong Sambal Oelek, so I hopped on Amazon to order another two-pack. Huh, the one I've been ordering isn't available. A quick search reveals that none are available. It's even out of stock at my local HEB.
What is going on....well, a quick Google search reveals that we are now under another sriracha pepper shortage, so Sriracha and Sambal will be unavailable for awhile now. When this happened last year, it wasn't until late October that their products started appearing back on the shelves.
Here's a quick USA Today article with some details: https://www.usatoday.com/story/money...k/11624642002/
Oh, and I'll save you the trouble. Tabasco has released a "sriracha-style" sauce in a bottle that looks just like the Huy Fong one. I bought one. It's terrible. (Well, it's not terrible....but it is not Huy Fong, either.)
