The effects of the chili pepper shortage have already hit eBay, where one seller listed a 9 oz bottle for $24.00, a 17 oz bottle for $35.00, and a 28 0z bottle of sauce for $59.99. Another seller listed a two-pack, 28 oz version for $85.
In April, Huy Fong sent a letter to customers alerting them that the company was navigating a "severe shortage of chili" caused by weather conditions in Mexico where the peppers are grown.
"Unfortunately, this is out of our control and without this essential ingredient we are unable to produce any of our products ," the letter said. "Therefore, all orders submitted on or after April 19, 2022, will be scheduled AFTER Labor Day in the order it was received. Additionally, if you had provided us with a purchase order and have not received confirmation, it will be on hold until September 2022.
