However, the lockdown and closures of the plants and factories has resulted in the decreased production of the barbeque sauce as most of the countries have been facing the COVID-19 crisis, which has forced the economies to shut down the operations. The huge spread of the pandemic has created a panic situation among the consumers as there is temporary shutdown of the retail stores, which leads to the increase in the demand and sale of the convenience foods such as pork, chicken, beef, green vegetables, and snacking items as barbeque sauce is sometimes used as a dip for the snacks.
