Campbell’s Soup Executive Allegedly Called Products “Shit for Poor People”
A Campbell’s Soup executive, Martin Bally, has been placed on temporary leave following allegations of disparaging remarks made about the company’s products and customers. These comments, which included referring to Campbell’s offerings as “shit for fucking poor people” and making racist statements, were reportedly recorded and are detailed in a wrongful termination lawsuit filed by former employee Robert Garza. Garza claims he was fired after reporting Bally’s behavior, which also included comments about the ingredients used. Campbell’s is currently investigating these allegations, which have also prompted a denial from the company about the use of bioengineered meat, while Garza’s lawsuit alleges retaliatory dismissal and a racially hostile work environment.
