Huy Fong Foods, the maker of the most popular variety of Sriracha sauce, told distributors last week that it would halt production of all its products until at least September, rekindling fears of another prolonged shortage of the beloved condiment. For years, the manufacturer has had difficulty at times obtaining the red jalapeño chiles it needs to make the sauce. Huy Fong representatives declined to comment on Thursday. No other companies that produce Sriracha seem to be affected by the chile shortage. Why did Huy Fong Foods halt production?

☆ California Rolls for a Crowd

For years, my party go-to has been Sheldon Simeon’s pan sushi dynamite, a recipe from his excellent cookbook, “Cook Real Hawai’i.” Pan sushi — or sushi bake — never fails to delight. It’s a generous sheet of sushi rice topped with fish that has been baked just long enough to marry with its sauce, placed on the table with palm-size squares of nori for D.I.Y. Naz’s recipe has the same sushi-casserole heart, but with California roll vibes. Imitation crab is mixed with cream cheese, mayo and Sriracha, baked on vinegary sushi rice, showered with furikake and topped with sliced cucumber and avocado. Naz notes that you can use canned tuna or salmon (or, indeed, real crab) instead; I can confidently confirm that sushi bake is a great use of canned salmon.

☆ There's still a Sriracha shortage and third-party vendors are selling the sauce for up to $23 on Amazon

Huy Fong Foods, the creator of Sriracha chili sauce, announced a shortage in 2022. In 2022, the Irwindale, California, company that created the sauce, Huy Fong Foods, notified customers that a "severe" chili pepper shortage was disrupting its production line. Since then, grocery stores and restaurants have been having difficulty keeping a reserve of the beloved hot chili sauce, causing third-party sellers to mark up prices. Underwood Ranches owner Craig Underwood filed a cross-complaint shortly after in 2018, claiming that Huy Fong breached its contract and committed fraud. A spokesperson for Huy Fong Foods did not respond to a request for comment sent during the weekend.

While drought has played a factor in many pepper growing regions in North and Central America in recent years, it may not be the full story. Huy Fong Foods' former pepper supplier of 28 years, Underwood Ranches, told CNBC that it could have kept up with the hot sauce company's demand if the two parties' business relationship had not come to an end in 2017.

Huy Fong Foods' sriracha hot sauce, in the green-capped bottle with the rooster label, has been hard to find for the past few years. Strained supplier relations coupled with adverse agricultural conditions have left Huy Fong Foods' sriracha out of stock at many grocers nationwide. Underwood Ranches, a farm owned by Craig Underwood based in Ventura County, California, supplied Huy Fong Foods' peppers for 28 years. Huy Fong Foods claimed it overpaid Underwood Ranches for its crops from the 2016 season. Huy Fong Foods declined CNBC's request for an interview.

Every month, Jimmy Ly usually orders nearly 150 bottles of sriracha from Huy Fong Foods for one of his Vietnamese restaurants in New York City. The sauce opens the richness of a pho broth or adds a blast of heat to a banh xeo, a Vietnamese crepe. Sriracha can “really hit the sweet spot in terms of spice, sweetness, acidity, just that tang.”But a few months ago, supply began to dry up. So he, like some other Huy Fong enthusiasts, bought two large bottles on eBay for $35 each, about five times the usual price, to use at home. For the second year in a row, Huy Fong, the maker of the most popular variety of sriracha, is facing production issues, the company said in a statement this month, because of “a shortage of raw material” with “no estimations of when supply will increase.”

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.

At its Halloween party in 2015, the adtech startup MediaMath seemed on the brink of greatness. The machine-learning revolution that took over the financial industry was finally happening in marketing, and many industry insiders considered MediaMath to be the hottest adtech company of the time.

The Trade Desk, the most comparable independent DSP company to MediaMath, was riding high after its 2016 initial public offering. The quasi-equity agreement was structured to protect Searchlight if MediaMath didn't perform to certain quotas or if things went south financially.

BANGKOK, Jan 12 (Reuters) - ExxonMobil (XOM.N) has agreed to sell its two-thirds stake in Esso Thailand (ESSO.BK) to Thai energy firm Bangchak Corporation (BCP.BK), the companies said in separate statements, in a deal that values the shares at 20.1 billion baht ($603 million).

"This investment is a step towards greater energy security, balancing our long-term strategy," said Bangchak chief executive Chaiwat Kovavisarach.
