The nation's second largest baker has agreed to pay a $5.25 million dollar fine for releasing ozone depleting substances into the atmosphere and to convert all of its industrial process refrigeration appliances to refrigerant systems that do not deplete the ozone layer. Earthgrains, a division of the Sara Lee Corporation, has consented to the fine and replacement program "to avoid protracted litigation," according to spokesman Matt Hall, but the company denies all allegations against it lodged by the Department of Justice and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
