The temporary hold on the Sriracha production is because the red Jalapeno Peppers are too green, which miscolors the hot sauce.

Red Winter Jalapeno Peppers, used for the Sriracha, are grown in Mexico, where there is a severe drought, KXII News 12 reported.

The drought, as reported by CNN, is significantly hampering the ripening process of the peppers, thereby affecting their production.
