Did they go out of business? I know they had reduced production because of this, but you make it sound like it is no longer.

In the UK at least I haven't seen them in a supermarket for a long time, whereas many ripoffs with different animal logos are available instead. It was previously very popular here.

I believe it was banned in the EU by the EFSA a few years back due to it containing E222 (sodium hydrogen sulphite)[0]. Googling suggests it's also banned in the UK, but finding reliable sources proved hard.

It was unbanned last year, it seems. Original Sriracha bottles are again available in Germany
