A Southern California city has declared the factory that produces the popular Sriracha hot sauce a public nuisance.

The Irwindale City Council's action Wednesday night gives the factory 90 days to make changes to stop the spicy odors that prompted complaints from some residents last fall. Declaring a public nuisance will allow city officials to enter the factory and make changes if the odors persist after the deadline.

The decision came despite testimony by air-quality experts that progress was being made toward a resolution. The South Coast Air Quality Management District said its inspectors have taken air samples inside the plant, and believed the information gathered should allow the factory and the city to resolve their differences.

They'd better not do anything to get rid of my Rooster Sauce!

I’m losing track, isn’t this like the 14th time now?

Another comany coming to Texas I expect.

Rumor has it that they’re looking to move here to Texas.

Purchased 2 bottles at Wal Mart yesterday.

Diane Feinstein and Nancy Pelosi are public nuisances….why doesn’t Cali do something about them?

The change they should make is moving to another State.

We do! We deport them to Washington DC every election!

Foodstuff manufacturing companies are among the easiest and cheapest of industries to move.

Not quite as easy as moving a bank of phones and employees, but almost.

an old nasty acquaintance moved next to the Marmite plant in Burton and promptly sued the plant to stop the odor.

I kinda wish they'd move to New Mexico.
Better promotion for the chile, you see.

First, it's California. Of course.

Second, it's not just California. Do you think the government regulates too many things? The law of odor nuisance comes from English common law. Many, if not most, states regulate odor nuisance by statute.

Here are Texas's State Odor Complaint Investigation Procedures.

The majority of the complaints came from 4 homes the article said. This small community is ready to let 4 homes full of people drive off a company that employs 200 during chile grinding season and 60 all year long? Idiots.

Come to NM, we’ll be happy to have the jobs!

The factory can be moved to Louisiana. We won’t even notice them.

Just bought 2 bottles last week. That’s a little over a 2 year supply for me.

Especially if it goes in down in the refinery belt.

I read the owners were in Nevada and could move soon.

I’ve heard someone in the Texas commerce department has already said they’d provide a sweet deal if they wanted to move. If I were them, I’d get the heck OUT of Crazy-fornia as soon as humanly possible.
