Lam said the company has been saddled with the hold rule since it began production at its 650,000 square foot factory in Irwindale. Previously the spicy condiment had been manufactured for 30 years in Rosemead.

Looks like whatever incentives Irwindale offered were fraud. I would call up Rosemead and reopen that factory.

I bought a large bottle for $2.55 last month only because it was on sale...so I am all set. I like Sriracha because it is not super hot. Tabasco is harsh vinegary crap compared to Sriracha.

Tapatio is a good hot sauce and same for Cholula...both are full body and hot. But not too hot

Saw it on the shelf a few days before Thanksgiving. Bought two bottles. That was before the snows hit.

Simple answer..move the factory to another state and leave the idiots in California without the jobs or the tax revenue. I am sure Texas would welcome Huy Fong Foods with open arms, give them a ready local market and not tax them to death.

Some competitor or other ill-wisher is using the goobermint to hassle Huy Fong.

There’s nothing wrong with their product or their production and packaging method. They sell gazillions of bottles of the stuff. I have never heard one single complaint about anybody getting sick off their product.

This is “crony capitalism” at its most disgusting, or as Adam Smith called it back in 1776, “mercantilism”.

After 30 days, the wares that have been held are sampled for bacteria level.

The "have there been any incidents" question is still valid. I don't know of any samples, at any time or age, that showed a harmful bacteria level. The inspectors are applying their cookie-cutter formula. Not cooked? Hold 30 days, then inspect, then (if it passes) ship.

“What happened to the raceway?”

The Irwindale Raceway is still there.

My guess is a neighbor of the new factory.
