LOS ANGELES (MarketWatch) — The Southern California maker of a popular hot sauce has been ordered to cease operations that have allegedly emitted harmful odors into the surrounding community, after residents’ complaints of health problems prompted a lawsuit.
A state court judge issued a decision late Tuesday finding that Huy Fong Foods Inc., the manufacturer of cult-favorite Sriracha “Rooster Sauce” and other chili sauce products, must “make changes in its site operations reducing odors and the potential for odors” at its Irwindale, Calif., factory. The injunction is slated to take effect on Dec. 9.
Bloomberg Enlarge Image The company, which owns two facilities in the Los Angeles area, won’t be forced to completely shut down operations — which includes bottling its sauces — according to the judge’s order.

Sounds like the people that take jobs at Walmart and after the probation period decide they want more money because Walmart does not pay a living wage!
I worked at that Nabisco plant in Pittsburgh. They also had problems at the Philly plant on Roosevelt avenue.
“with Crystal original as my go to sauce. I’ll give Sriracha a try. “
Not for all applications. I like it on pork and chicken.
Trader Joe’s Habeniero [sorry, mono-lingual] is too hot for me. Just heat, no flavor.
But if there is nothing else in the cabinet ...
I have been known to pour vinegar into the dregs of a hot sauce bottle, shake it up to dissolve all the remaining ‘good stuff’ and pour it on whatever was next on the fork.
I was born and grew up in a house on the banks of the Tittabawassee River, about six miles upstream from the Dow Chemical Company in Midland, Michigan. I can remember mornings when the smell of the Dow Chemical Plant was strong enough that you could almost believe that you had to take a bite out of the air and chew it just to breathe. When it was like that, my dad, who was employed as a pipefitter at Dow, used to like to say to those who complained about the odor, "Smells like money to me ..."
I take it that they didn't have a humungous neon chicken sign that lit up the entire neighborhood? /Seinfeld
Their stuff is too hot by a factor of about a hundred.
That was a great plant and a Pittsburgh landmark! Did they make Ritz crackers? For some reason that is what I recall.
I had a bar buddy who worked there. IIRC we called him troll because he had a Duck Dynasty beard before it was cool.
I delivered (electrical) things there only a few times.
In any case it seemed like Nabisco wanted out but was willing to take whatever the city/county/state would give to keep it open.
When push came to shove. Mayor Caliguri came up with a plan that turned it over to the workers.
My buddy said then it was only a matter of time before it all fell apart.
And it did.
Haven’t seen him since...hope he is OK.
Actually not. I live a few miles from their new factory. They just moved there when their old factory in a nearby town got too small.
But on that note, we used to have a dump near here. The city allowed new houses to be built near the dump, and guess what? The folks in the new homes forced the dump to close because they didn't like living next to the dump!
When I got back from Viet Nam I still had eleven months to go and was given my duty station of choice. I took a training job with the Third ID in Wurtzburg Germany. I lived off post in a small one room apartment in the back of a pastry shop. They started cooking at about 4:00 AM and to wake up to that smell was wonderful. Took my wife back 8 years later and that sweet little old lady was still alive and still owned the pastry shop. She was a sweetie!
We were lucky, I suppose, just down the road, Gowanda reeked of rotting horseflesh from the glueworks.
People complained, of course, but those factories were the life-blood of tiny communities and everyone had friends and relatives who worked there. That and no one really got sick or died from it.
You just accepted it as a fact of life and went on. NOT ANY MORE!
I never use it straight on anything as a regular hot sauce, but I have found it is excellent for use in cooking. Mixes well, a little goes a long way. Marinades, stews, soups, pasta sauces, meatballs are just some of the things that I thought it did well with.

When Little Debbie cooks brownies, I gain 5 lb just sniffing the air outside.
As for the trains, I saw an interesting movie the other night, THE TALL TARGET. In it, a train is going through Baltimore, and must stop, then be pulled by horses through town because the citizens had complained of the noise.
“Sriracha: Nectar of the gods.”
I’ll second that!
Noooooooooooooo!!!!!
I grew up in Winston-Salem, NC home of RJR tobacco. We lived only a few miles west of their downtown plant. On certain days the sweet smell of tobacoo would come wafting our way. That was a wonderful odor.
The new move ins should be offered the opportunity to pay to have the offending fumes filtered. Otherwise move out.
I just figured the plant had been taken over by
NASA for use as a rocket fuel producer.
Good stuff but I prefer habanero XXX Mayan recipe
from El Yucateca.
One ONE drop is all you need.
Simple solution, have Hong Fuy refuse to sell the sauce anywhere within a 100-mile radius of the plants, and mark it on all new bottles. And then let the “neighbors” neighbors deal with the idiots. . .
