Michigan powdered egg plant faces legal action over foul odors causing community distress.
Crimson Holdings, LLC, a Wisconsin-based company that produces powdered eggs in Adrian, Michigan, is facing legal action and environmental violations due to foul odors emanating from its plant. The company has invested nearly $2 million in improvements to the facility, including a new 100-foot exhaust stack, to cut odors, but complaints continue to stack up. A judge has ordered the plant to shut down during the daytime, putting production targets off the table. The company plans to establish a citizens advisory council with residents to allow for regular feedback on odor concerns.
