4 firms to cut levels of carcinogen in foods
The California attorney general's office announced the deals Friday with Heinz, Frito-Lay, Kettle Foods and Lance Inc.
The lawsuits were filed under a state law that requires companies to post warnings about carcinogens in their products.
The attorney general's office sued the manufacturers and several fast-food companies in 2005 because their products contained high levels of acrylamide.
The office says the companies agreed to lower the levels and pay a combined $3 million in fines.
