So is this as a result of the increased demand caused by stranger things, or was stranger things just a brand management thing where they threw money at building up a wholesome image before the news broke?

People don't understand that all big corps have these kind of fines and lawsuits already built into their annual budgets. Meaning, it is already part of doing business for them. This means these fines and penalties are already accounted for in their annual costs and subsequently pricing which is being paid by the customers.

$85,000 for making an entire community shelter in place for hours while releasing toxic glasses into the atmosphere. That's pretty bullshit, it's Kellogg's, hit them with a larger fine, they can afford it.

I have never made toxic gas while cooking. Maybe after eating, but not while making food. What the fuck are they cooking with?

The toxic gas usually gets released about an hour after you eat them…. 😱💨

To elaborate on the comment from /u/invectioncoven below, the article is ambiguously written with minimal detail, so I totally understand from where your comment is stemming.

I am willing to bet its ambiguity can be attributed to the District Attorney's office (source) and/or author's lack of familiarity with the technical subject matter related to hazmat incidents.

Anhydrous ammonia can be some real dangerous shit for any human to be exposed to, but I'm about 99% certain that it's not DIRECTLY used in the processing of our precious Eggo waffles.

But as the article alludes, "anhydrous ammonia is a refrigerant commonly used in food processing," when it likely should have said something akin to "anhydrous ammonia is a refrigerant commonly used in commercial cooling/freezing systems found in food processing"

So, essentially, the article (unintentionally) causes the reader to infer that anhydrous ammonia is used in the processing of waffles. When in all likelihood, that's not exactly the case. Just as you and the food you prepare at home are never in direct contact with HFC-134a (1,1,1,2-Tetrafluoroethane) (a common refrigerant used in residential refrigerators/freezers), the Eggo waffles are never in direct contact with the anhydrous ammonia, but our precious waffles are being kept at an ideal temperature for long term storage of edible Eggos thanks to the chemical and physical properties of anhydrous ammonia and modern science.

That’s nothing to Kellogg’s. Simply the cost of doing business and not even remotely a deterrent in any way.

Dear Kelloggs. Please frost the entire top of the poptart. You'll make trillions
