smelly syrup

In New York City, a harmless smell which drifted through roads of the city at least nine times since 2005, was traced to a place across the Hudson River that processes seeds for use as artificial flavorings. This place was, New Jersey. Mayor Michael Bloomberg said a team of odor investigators, environmental protectionists, and the health department found some clues that where used to identify the culprit after another smell in January. The investigation had people mapping the time and place of every odor that came from New Jersey to New York by having people call the 311 hot line. The time was checked with air sampling tests during these periods of time that New Yorkers reported smelling the odor. Reporters also noticed that every time they got a whiff of bad smell, the wind was blowing from west to east which traced it down to New Jersey. The investigators found that one facility in Hudson County was processing Fenugreek syrup flavoring seeds. Fenugreek is a common ingredient in curry powders, and its extract is also used in artificial flavorings
New Jersey and city officials say the facility, operated by a company called Frutarom, does not appear to be breaking any laws so the mayor said it could be any other facility in this state.
