How many fingers out do u need, Thurs?

Meh...It's OK but mine's much, much better..... :wave: I do understand the issue with the fumes. Even when I make my sauce I can't make it inside and when I do make it outside I have to warn my neighbors to close their windows for a while. I'm only making sauce pan volumes so you can imagine the fumes at the scale of production of a major player like Sriracha .

Actually chilli news but relevant to other thread..

 

Judge Orders Sriracha Factory To Cool It

 

 

Peppered with complaints from citizens about burning eyes, sore throats and headaches, city officials in Irwindale, Calif., t to see if they could do something about smells coming from a factory that produces Sriracha hot sauce.

 

Now, a Los Angeles Superior Court judge has said the factory must partially shut down while the city and Huy Fong Foods try to address the issue. , though, "the injunction does not order the company to stop operating entirely, or specify the types of actions that are required."

 

and the Times say Huy Fong Foods did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

 

You might say the judge has imposed a cooling-off period. Or, perhaps, a dash of compromise. Maybe, even, that he's appealing to the two sides to be resauceful and reach a compromise. (We could go on; please feel free to do so in the comments thread.)

 

As for the very popular sauce, the AP notes that:

 

"The company had previously argued that there is no reason to close the plant now because harvest season and subsequent grinding of red-hot Jalapeno peppers, the sauce's key ingredient, has passed. That suggests that the injunction may not have a major immediate effect on the company's production or the nation's hot sauce supply as Huy Fong keeps up its year-round mixing and bottling."
