Sriracha Maker Ordered to Cease Operations

A popular California hot-sauce company 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, 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.
