An executive at The Campbell’s Co. was allegedly caught trashing the business’ food as “sh*t for f**king poor people” in a tirade recorded by a former employee, who is now suing Campbell’s for retaliation after he tried to report it.
“If you look at our fucking pantry, we have shit for fucking poor people, right? We have shit that’s for poor people. Who buys our shit?” a voice can be heard saying in an audio recording obtained by HuffPost.
Martin Bally, whose LinkedIn states he is a vice president and chief information security officer at Campbell’s, made the remarks during a November meeting last year with then-employee Robert Garza, according to the lawsuit Garza filed this month.
“I don’t want to eat a fucking piece of chicken that came from a 3D printer,” Bally allegedly said about his company’s product, degrading the key ingredient of chicken noodle soup as “bioengineered meat.”
A company spokesperson said in a statement shared with HuffPost that “if the comments were in fact made, they are unacceptable” and do not reflect the business’ values and culture.
