Sriracha (rooster) sauce finally returned, will disappear again?

[intrepidity]

I've heard from two different people now that there is another red jalapeño shortage and that production will be halted.

Don't know if it is merely a rumor at this point, but yesterday I saw some at two stores I visited. So, if you're running low, you may want to pick some up soon.

During the last shortage, many other brands came on board (no good substitute imho). But, if they all rely on an ingredient in short supply.... Unless some of them use dried rather than fermented fresh chili? Don't know, but not taking any chances, lol.
