A Kellogg's factory in San Jose, California, that makes Eggo waffles must pay an $85,000 fine after leaking toxic ammonia into the surrounding neighborhood and not immediately reporting it, state officials say.
The Kellogg's brand was found guilty of criminal negligence for the incident that occurred on January 22, 2021, according to the District Attorney's Office in Santa Clara County.
"Public safety and the environment are threatened with every passing minute in these cases," Deputy District Attorney Jason Bussey said in a statement. "When companies fail to immediately report a release, they face serious consequences."

A single moment captured by an Army photographer became the most enduring image of America's greatest military operation.
