It’s not just you. Sriracha is hard to come by these days — at least for one beloved brand, which is selling for shocking amounts on third-party sites like Amazon, eBay and Walmart.
NEW YORK — It’s not just you. Sriracha is hard to come by these days — at least for one popular brand.

These peppers are typically grown under irrigation, with a lot of water drawn from the Colorado River — which has reached unprecedented low levels over recent years, Ortega said. The region has suffered insufficient rainfall and reduced run-off from snowpack.
Another market force at play is consumer behavior: in this case, hoarding. The panic around potentially losing access to a desired product leads many people to buy more than they would typically need, — much like what was seen with toilet paper at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic. Are other hot sauces facing shortages?There’s a myriad of hot sauces, including other of Sriracha-style products, that remain easy to find at reasonable prices. Tabasco, for example, has created a page dedicated to helping customers find nearby stores that sell its brand of Sriracha.
