Brown Jr.）在与加州检察官调解会中，同意他们将提供消费者相关警语，以配合65提案的结果，加强安全饮水和毒物管制行动。 该公司在没有承认他们错误的情况下，也同意赔偿20万8千美元给民事罚锾，以及13万3千美元以资助65提案的执法行动。 肯德鸡与加州检察官的协调只是执行65提案对於大型饮食制造商的第一波行动，其他还包括佛乐多莱氏（Frito-Lay inc.）、百事食品（Pepsico Inc.）、亨氏（H.J. Heinz Co）、克特食品（Kettle Foods Inc.）、宝侨公司（Procter & Gamble Distributing Co.）、温蒂食品、麦当劳与汉堡王。 KFC Will Post Acrylamide Warnings in California SACRAMENTO, California, April 26, 2007 (ENS) The KFC Corp., which serves Kentucky Fried Chicken, agreed Tuesday to comply with a 1986 voter-approved initiative requiring companies that expose consumers to harmful substances to provide a "clear and reasonable warning." The company agreed to warn California customers that its fried or baked potatoes contain acrylamide, a chemical known to cause cancer. Acrylamide, a byproduct created by the reaction of chemicals in food and high heat, is found in French fries and potato chips at high levels. For example, a serving of fries or potato chips has about 82 times more acrylamide than is allowed in drinking water under U.S. EPA standards. Proposition 65, the initiative demanding the exposure warnings, was approved by 63 percent of California voters. In settling a lawsuit with California Attorney General Edmund G. Brown Jr., the KFC Corp. agreed to supply consumers with acrylamide warnings to comport with Proposition 65, the Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act. The company, without admitting wrongdoing, also agreed to pay $208,000 in civil penalties and $133,000 to fund Proposition 65 enforcement actions. The settlement was the first as part of an ongoing Proposition 65 enforcement action against major food and beverage producers including Frito-Lay Inc., Pepsico Inc., H.J. Heinz Co., Kettle Foods Inc., Procter & Gamble Distributing Co., Wendy's International Inc., McDonald's Corp., and Burger King Corp. 全文及图片详见http://www.ens-newswire.com/ens/apr2007/2007-04-26-09.asp#anchor1 --
