In the coming months, lovers of the red rooster will be able to buy Huy Fong Foods Sriracha hummus, croutons, tortilla chips, potato chips, and actual Sriracha spice to season your own food with, [_Yahoo_](https://www.yahoo.com/food/sriracha-fans-rejoice-new-line-of-114610326266.html)reports.

Thought some of these items already existed? Not quite.

While companies like [Lays](http://www.foodbeast.com/2013/07/31/lays-is-bringing-back-sriracha-chicken-waffles-and-cheesy-garlic-because-of-course-they-are/) have created snacks with Sriracha _flavoring_, any true hot sauce connoisseur knows that there is only one true Huy Fong Sriracha — which recently partnered up with Pop! Gourmet Foods.

“McCormick does a Sriracha seasoning, but it’s not Huy Fong,” Pop! founder and CEO David Israel told _Yahoo._ “With us, you’re getting the real deal.”

The official Sriracha seasoning will be available April 20.

The two companies already rolled out Sriracha popcorn earlier this year.
