Company Overview
Huy Fong Foods, founded by David Tran in 1980, is best known for its iconic Sriracha Hot Chili Sauce, often referred to as 'rooster sauce' due to the rooster logo on its bottle. The company started in Los Angeles and has grown to become a major player in the hot sauce market. Sriracha sauce is made from sun-ripened red jalapeño chili peppers, garlic, sugar, salt, and distilled vinegar, and it contains no artificial colors or water. The company produces other chili sauces like Sambal Oelek and Chili Garlic Sauce. Huy Fong Foods has faced supply chain challenges, including a notable chili pepper shortage in recent years.
