Apr 25, 2014 - Aliso Viejo, California, U.S. - Huy Fong Foods Sriracha plant in Irwindale that produces the popular Sriracha hot sauce has 90 days to contain its fumes after a decision by a California city council to label it a public nuisance. The Irwindale City Council's resolution enables officials to make changes if the smells continue after the factory's deadline has past. The factory had been working with the South Coast Air Quality Management District on the filtration system since complaints from residents first happened. Irwindale residents, east of Los Angeles, sued Huy Fong Foods alleging the company refused to do enough to contain the fumes, which people said irritated eyes and throats. Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Robert O'Brien ruled that the factory must stop any operations that cause the noxious fumes but denied a request that all operations stop. Huy Fong Foods was founded over 30 years ago by David Tran, an ethnic Chinese immigrant from Vietnam. (Credit Image: © Ruaridh Stewart/ZUMA Wire/ZUMAPRESS.com)
