New York CNN —The prolonged shortage of a certain red sauce is making the black market go wild.
Prices of Sriracha sauce are as high as $70 on eBay as people look to snap up the spicy sauce.
Huy Fong Foods, which makes the rooster-adorned bottled sauce, has been dealing with a years-long shortage of the chilis, which is hurting production and causing some shortages.
At this time, we have no estimations of when supply will increase,” a Huy Fong spokesperson said.
There’s been a shortage for the past three years, as Huy Fong has said that its chili peppers have consistently been in short supply.
