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?

    Huy Fong has halted production for the summer because the peppers were not ripe enough. Some of the bottles will be more brown because the red/green of the pepper. It’s not a bad product, they just had underripe product this season. If you love Sriracha, buy it now because last year (2023) they said they were suspending until the fall and it ended up being 9 months, not 3.
