ST. LOUIS (AP) — Tyson Foods Inc. will pay roughly $4 million in civil penalties to settle allegations related to eight accidental anhydrous ammonia releases that caused multiple injuries and one death over four years, the U.S. government and the company said Friday.
The deal, which resolved a federal lawsuit filed in St. Louis by the Environmental Protection Agency, involves alleged Clean Air Act violations at Tyson sites in Missouri, Kansas, Iowa and Nebraska. It still faces a 30-day public comment period and must be approved by a federal judge.
