Sriracha hot sauce is popular among diners at restaurants for its capability of spicing up foods, but one California city says the company's factory is causing quite a nuisance.

Irwindale, Calif. is in Southern California. The city has given the factory 90 days to fix the problem that Irwindale residents complained about originally last fall.

Residents have complained that the fumes that come from the factory are so intense that it causes them to have headahes, coughing attacks and stings their eyes.

Since the Irwindale City Council declared the problem a public nuisance, officials will be able to enter the factory if the problem isn't remedied within the 90 days.

Huy Fong Foods, the maker of Sriracha, is represented by Attorney John Tate. Tate said the company has been working on its filtration system since the complaints were first logged. He says the company plans to have a long-term fix by June 1.

Irwindale has already sued Huy Fong Foods last October for the fumes that came from the factory. That case was decided in November when a judge told the company to stop producing the spicy sauce.

Huy Fong Foods had already stopped producing the sauce though. That's because it does its grinding of peppers during the months of August through October.

Still, residents complained that the strong fumes continued as the company ceased grinding and began bottling. 

Irwindale is a small city of only 1,400 residents and is highly industrial. Huy Hong Foods moved there two years ago.

Sriracha was discovered in 1980 by Vietnamese immigrant David Tran.
