Default The problem with counterfeit rooster sauce

Just which one are you talking about and what constitutes
"counterfeit"? There are two major brands. One is made in SoCal and
the other in Thailand. If you consider the SoCal brand (Huy Fong, the
rooster logo) to be counterfeit, you are very much in the minority.
It's the dominant brand here in the SFBA, which has a very large Thai
population and is found in most Thai and Vietnamese restaurants.

Saying there is even such a thing as counterfeit sriracha is like
saying there are counterfeit mustards or ketcups. It's a non-issue.
