When Pop! Gourmet Foods announced its official Sriracha snack line, the world came together in celebration and a universal peace was established. At least, that's the feeling many people will have when reading the news of this development. Although there have been Sriracha snack lines in the past, none were created with the official hot sauce recipe until now.
Partnering with Huy Fong Foods, Seattle-based Pop! Gourmet Foods's Sriracha snack line is currently comprised of popcorn and chips but will expand to include croutons, tortilla chips, hummus and even more. Of course, there will be a spice mixture made from a base of dehydrated Huy Fong Sriracha so people can dose any food in the incredibly popular flavor. Pop! Gourmet Foods founder and CEO David Israel admits, "We eat it here with our lunch, on top of fries or chicken breasts or whatever."
