“Campbell’s admission that it committed these violations will speed this case toward a trial that will decide what steps the company must take to curb its pollution and how large a civil penalty should be imposed,”

1.5 times their gross annual profit average over the timeframe, per infraction, ought to do it. Oh. And jail time for anyone who knew and didn't report it, for aiding and abetting a conspiracy to commit the crime.

Anyone know how the Campbell soup company is doing? Are they enshittifying hard yet because of how old and big the brand is?
