I bought some of the chili sauce, but skeptical about the look and taste of the regular sriracha now

Wonder what else I could use chili sauce for too, I bought it for ramen.

It’s so bad. I literally thought it was rotten ☹️ and I was not one of the ones that claimed they could taste the difference when the initial underwood split up happened

Does it actually taste different though, or is the colour just putting people off?

Looks awful. For all intents and purposes that brand is dead

The one on the left is trash, way too sweet. Huy fong is good but the brown color is trippin me out.

Apparently they had to use green chilies because they were underripe or something

Order some underwood ranch sriracha. They were the farmers that used to work for huy fong.

I saw this in a local grocery store, definitely not the same Sriracha sauce. It looked disgusting. I wouldn’t buy if it was free, looked spoiled.

the Roland isn’t bad at all, I just tried the trader joes Sriracha and I’m so disappointed in it, was like a fancy ketchup with the weakest spice in any sauce I’ve ever tried

Get the Underwood Sriracha (Red Dragon). I recently started finding it at some Walmart locations. Way better than original sriracha and a touch spicier.

They’ve gone so far downhill so quickly. They had such a popular, tasty sauce and threw it away because of greed. Fortunately I still have a bottle of red left, and it’ll be the last thing I buy from them.

There appears to be a quality control issue in the coloration of the jalapeno peppers “mash” that goes into the final product from their pepper suppliers. Production was temporarily halted (2024). The information was shared a while back on either here or /sriracha. You can also [read about it](https://www.latimes.com/business/story/2024-05-10/huy-fong-maker-of-the-sriracha-everyone-wants-is-going-dark-again-heres-what-happened) on various news sites. This is **not** the same production halt which also occurred during the Huy Fong/Underwood Ranches business snafu.
There’s some debate about the taste of Huy Fong Food’s (rooter label) sriracha sauce. I personally think the taste has changed. And I’m not referring to the color issue. It’s not the same spicy flavor that it once was. (I attribute that to their prior, former use of Underwood Ranches’s red jalapenos. [Underwood Ranches now produces their own sriracha](https://lataco.com/underwood-farms-sriracha) with their peppers; it’s called Dragon Sriracha. And having sampled older and newer Huy Fong sriracha alongside Underwood Ranches’s sriracha, it’s NO contest–Underwood Ranches makes the BEST tasting sriracha now, imo.)
Hope that helps.

I found some of the red stuff at my local Asian market. They had a limit of two. I bought two

Huy Fong Foods used to source their red jalapenos from Underwood Ranches until that business partnership collapsed. There are some good news articles, plus the lawsuit filing/results, posted online (Underwood Ranches [won their lawsuit](https://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/la-me-ln-sriracha-lawsuit-underwood-ranches-20190712-story.html), btw.)
