Is this the end of Huy Fong's Sriracha? Also any good alternatives that aren't fucking scummy like Huy Fong's ripping off hard working farmers? Because fuck that shit.

Like... 2015 or so? It's not even interesting. HF tried to hire their main grower or other operator sort away from the farm company in order to start their own farm and cut out the middle man. Doing so, however, violated the contract between HF and the farm. The farm found out about it then kept money HF paid them for shipment of peppers without actually providing said peppers. They said something like "let's just call our keeping your money "even" because you won't want us to sue you for breach of contract because you'll lose."
Well, HF wasn't impressed, sued them for not providing the goods they paid for so the farm countersued for breach of contract and won.
The end.

I've always like Thumbprint/Cap Jempol original chilli sauce (sambal asli). It's not as vinegary as Sriracha so I prefer it. I'm told it's stronger in chilli taste compared to Sriracha, but idk since I haven't had Sriracha in, like, 15 years.

Same. It's my opinion that farmer was retarded. He took a golden goose and shot it and burnt the fucker in the oven. This little stunt of his where he actually thinks he'll make his own sauce? Ridiculous. People shop for the Huy Fong Cock Label, it is that prominent.

I'll keep buying Huy Fong because that guy doesn't fuck around. Yeah, I'll wait till September, but whatever, I have Marie Sharps around, and she vertically integrates her pepper farms so nobody gives a fuck.

the whole reason they sued is because hf is cutting ties with them, not the other way around

Only other sauce I see in stores is the green milder sauce which makes a good chicken taco from their website's recipes. I do want to try the chipotle one they make since I always see good reviews about it here. Not about to order some off their website but I might if I can't find anything else. Will look for these other ones next time I hit up Walmart.
There is a store in the mall that only sells hot sauces, maybe I will check it out one of these days.
