Has Huy Fong Sriracha changed color?
Saw a bunch of bottles at the store today, but instead of their usual brick-red color, the sauce was almost brown. I checked the expiration dates on a few bottles – the date was June of 2026 (or there abouts, don’t remember the exact date), so they weren’t expired. Anyone know if these Sriracha bottles are unusual, or is Sriracha brown now?
My understanding is that there is always color variation because they don’t color their sauces with food coloring, and as a result, the sauces made at the beginning of harvest season will have a different color than the sauces made at the end of harvest season.
But also they no longer use the same chili due to greed, so that may not apply anymore
