- BBC Newshour asked me to explain the ongoing Huy Fong Foods Sriracha shortage, caused by poor jalapeño crop yields and drought in Mexico.

Given the current heat in Mexico, I have a feeling that the shortage is going to be rather long term, unless they pivot to other regions for growers...
The Spanish Girl has left Australia and the boy's beating on the door. I don't think it would be too long, but it might be good to try to organise something in Australia.
The unofficial official spokesperson on all things Sriracha, and I’m here for it!
Sincerely wish them the best in overcoming these shortages. I’m on my last bottle right now and trying to stretch it out.
Still bottles on the shelf in my area.
@@thebangkokconnection4080 send me one
I had no idea you made that documentary. I’ve got to check it out. It’s been a year since my last bottle of Rooster Sauce and after having tried other brands due to the shortage I believe the original is still the best. Hopefully the shortage ends soon.
Congrats on another recent interview Griffin. I’m in the UK and great to see you on the BBC. Your documentary is such a great lesson for students on personal branding and how a ten year old doc can make you the go-to media person. The quality of the footage still looks incredible as well. Even with the 1 orange truck, which was made white 😉
Thank you, Luke! 🟠⚪️
@@GriffinHammond Point the makers in the general direction of Australia. We're likely to be going into drought as your rains start. Like US, Australia is a large country. Unlike US, we have a relatively warm climate.
Show someone some greenbacks, I'm sure a deal could be worked out. Perhaps with an Australian Vietnamese refugee, we have a few.

I tried Underwood Farms Sriracha I think it’s just as good or better!
so happy to see this pop on my feed. been watching since you took over indy mogul way back when and i still own the sriracha documentary from when it first came out. you really inspired me as a young creative looking to create and i appreciate you for it. thanks man!
Sriraja Panich from Thailand is an excellent substitute. It’s found in most Walmart stores across America.
It's not the same because the ingredients are different Pantainorasingh Chli, water, sugar,garlic Contains 2% or less of: Salt, modified corn starch,xanthan gum, acetic acid citric acid, monosodum glutamate, disodium 5 insinuate, disodium 5guanylate,preservative,potassium sorbets, coloring: Paprika.
I had no idea that operation was so vast!
Griff is the expert 😅. Good to see griff cover this again
2013. Wow I've been following Griffin before the doc. That's a long time
Thank you for sticking with me!
@@GriffinHammond man ure an inspiration and uve thought me so much. It's my pleasure
For real. I cant believe it
@@GriffinHammond On Creative Live too.
I really liked your doc! Unfortunately I bought it on someone else's RUclips account. Will have to buy it again and rewatch it!
It's $95 for a two pack online at Walmart
Hah! I saw this coming when David Tran parted ways with his main producer in CA. Still have 2 17oz bottles left. I ain’t scared. Huy Fong will figure this out. The green top rooster is the Mr. Miyagi of condiments and I love it. Mahalo!
I just got two 20oz bottles from Amazon for $35. I hope they can figure out how to source other farms. I haven't personally seen a bottle on the shelf since June 2022.
You mean I could sellthe bottles I have for $28 a bottle? Holy smokes.
Wow you went through all the trouble to get your studio lighting right for the interview but they only used your audio (in addition to all the clips from the doc!) I hope they at least paid for the usage rights on the video but I'm not sure how that works
I think the lighting things were for a different publication (CBS). This one sounds more like perhaps it was on radio
@NickzAndMikz is right. The lighting was for a CBS News interview conducted via Zoom. This one was a phone call for radio, BBC Newshour. So I actually ripped the audio and added my own visuals so I could share it with you here on RUclips.
i bet the old neighborhood near factory loving downtime less heavy smelling pepper
Got me struggling
What made is so famous is/was its price. It was nonvinegar and cheap. Never liked tobasco
Shots still hold up in 2023. I'll be referencing your fireworks vid for B mode tonight. ;) I remember reading a little while ago it was something more nefarious that was the cause of the shortage. Combined with nothing but troubles with that new factory, lawsuits from residents complaining about burning eyes and some sort of old school mafia price fixing? Might be time for a Sriracha part 2. In any event Happy 4th!
Sriracha shortage? Nope. Huy fong shortage ...
Sriracha, sequel doc possibly?
Good then that I never had the "Rooster" brand one. I only ever had the "Flying Goose" brand one from Thailand, which is awesome.
I would try the Rooster one just to compare it, but until its available again, I'm happy with the flying goose.
They need to go back to the original growers!
Pretty W video
No the real reason is they changed growers and screwed over the farmer who grew there peppers for 20 years and now the farmer makes his own pepper sauce witch is way better..
I thought it was cause Huy fung fired his grower in 2017
Did Huy Fong Foods ever pay the amount they owed their grower..$30m and the court rules were owed .. or did they simply walk away is that not the real point you overlooked?? Your purpose here is misleading again.. You have simply failed to Report the Facts ..
It was actually 23 million and Underwood owed them 1.5 million back…….but yes, they fail to mention Huy Fong’s greed trying to find “cheaper” peppers. They screwed Underwood over and lost
Is it just me or has it been watered down
In California neighbors of the plant filed court documents to shut them down a couple years ago. They complained of burning eyes, bad odors from exhausts at the factory. Why does a Viet Namese owner have a Thai name on the bottle?
Because that’s the name of the city in Thailand that David Tran took a boat (the Huy Fong) from to come to America.
Corporate greed. At its finest.
That is not it. 😂
Invest in hydroponic towers. Grow his own. Drought won’t be an issue.
😂😂😂😂😂 what a totally stupid comment
I don’t believe this is the real reason causing the shortage ( I could be wrong). What I think is the city want to shutdown the factory because the complaints of smell. Here is the video: ruclips.net/video/WAuvfXRAMw0/видео.html
You are wrong
That video is 9 years old...
Congratz
Anyway every time i see this documentary it makes me want to grab a gh4 and start to shoot!!! 😉😉😉
Just add sugar to tabasco!
Another stupid comment
I don’t like it so it’s ok 😅
Those peppers look dirty
As are all peppers out of the field moron, they all get washed
There no chance this man could make it here in California with his lol hot stuff.
Just ask E must. California with their friends. Not saying any names.
You don't pay you can't stay. 😂
Hey, just get Valentina, even better, you're welcome
I love Valentina sauce!
Gov. Gavin Newsom please step down in California. Your policies and leadership sucks in California.... period! Why Newsom won’t let them grow red hot peppers back in California??
The Sriracha shortages for the 2nd years just proves the companies needs to GTFO of Commiefornia. They should build a plant in Mexico.
Your comment just proved that you didn't even LISTEN to the video. The peppers come from Mexico princess
@@daveklein2826 thank God. They still need to move manufacturing to Mexico.
@@HiddenAgendasthis won’t change anything. Your brainwashed
Greed! Canceled a contract with a farmer in California to get. Peppers from Mexico!
VS. vs. Vs royale battle of sauce:

Buy when supplies last then freeze in double freezer bag. You'l always have some..
Sky valley has only 5 ingredients. Ox brand has 9. Yellow bird has 7 Huy fongs had a huge paragratof sufates, preservatives and hypoglucansuckmyballsackolyde type shit in it. Both brands listed are way better than huy fong sky valley is my personal favorite. Huy fong is still delicious its everyone's first Sriracha. My supermarket is currently out of huy fong. If yours is too switch up the brand. Just stay away from lee kum kim 😂 the name alone sounds gross they make good marinades though. Also stay away from kimoman brand Sriracha. Its not as good
fuck all that. I'm sicking with Huy Fong. All those copycats trying to get into the game like the previous supplier / farmer who decided to sell their knock off brand. lol fuck them too
I see there's a reply but I can't see it. Was someone talking shit? I need help I'm trapped in Epstein's basement and the dungeon map from the legend of Zelda ain't helping me out here
My local Asian story has limited supply. Sometime they are out, but they do managed to get some in, surprisingly. The normal 28oz bottle is going for $10 each.
