Sriracha Fired Up for Court Battle

For you kids just joining us, Huy Fong Foods, Inc produces Sriracha. Underwood provides the peppers that make that possible. Huy Fong is claiming breach of contract by Underwood, accusing it of not returning millions of dollars’ worth of equipment and to refund an overpayment totaling close to $1.5 million.
Since Underwood has grown the peppers Huy Fong puts in its sauces for over three decades, this could end up being a bit of a big deal for Sriracha consumers (different pepper provider, different taste; production delays), or it could be nothing for them. You can find out the details from the report here.
