Sriracha considers moving factory amid smell complaints

[n2doc]

After a months-long battle with the city of Irwindale over complaints about a spicy odor, Sriracha sauce creator David Tran said Wednesday he is now seriously considering moving his factory to another location.

Tran responded Wednesday to the politicians and business leaders from 10 states and multiple cities in California that have offered to host the Sriracha factory. He invited them to tour the facility in Irwindale and decide if their communities would complain about the odors that arise during production.

Tran stressed he has not decided whether to move, but would like to explore his options.

The Irwindale City Council voted unanimously to designate the factory a public nuisance last Wednesday despite promises from the saucemaker that they would submit an action plan and fix the smell by June 1.

4. Have you ever been to Irwindale?

It's really just a lot of gravel pits and industrial buildings.

7. They could make it in Hades and I am still buying a bottle a month

Food is more important than politics.

8. Not me how and where I spend my money just as important as my vote

The 1% is at war with us and denying them my money is an effective way to fight back.

The Red States are already offering them tax incentives to relocate why be a part of the problem?
