    I haven't seen a bottle in a grocery store in maybe two years? Your comment made me think maybe I just haven't looked hard enough, but I just checked my local Walmart delivery and Instacart and neither has Huy Fong Sriracha available anywhere nearby. I'm in Utah, U.S.

    I’m an NJ resident, have also had trouble finding it for the past two years. They’ve had a lot of trouble sourcing the peppers they need to make it.

    The owner of the company and the the farmer that exclusively sold to them began to feud. Then came a drought and the variety of pepper they use went off the market. They are recovering now and product is coming out in smaller batches but not at previous volume. It’s still really hard to find.
