Campbell’s Soup Exec Accused Of Calling Product ‘Sh*t For Poor People’

A former employee has filed a lawsuit against Campbell’s, alleging that he was wrongfully terminated after lodging a complaint against an executive.

Robert Garza, a Michigan-based cybersecurity expert who worked remotely for the company, filed a lawsuit against his former employer this week. Garza claimed that he was fired in January, just three weeks after filing the complaint.

The tech worker said he recorded an in-person meeting with chief information security officer Martin Bally while the two were meant to be discussing a salary increase last year. Garza said he captured an hour-long tirade, which included derogatory comments about the product and various nationalities.

“We have sh*t for f*cking poor people. Who buys our sh*t? I don’t buy Campbell’s products barely anymore,” Bally allegedly said at one point during the 75-minute-long recording.

The exec also allegedly claimed the ingredients were man-made. “It’s not healthy now that I know what the f*ck’s in it,” a person on the recording says. “Bioengineered meat — I don’t wanna eat a piece of chicken that came from a 3-D printer.”

Bally is also accused of disparaging employees from India. “F*cking Indians don’t know a f*cking thing,” a speaker on the recording said. “They couldn’t think for their f*cking selves.”

Campbell’s has not confirmed the authenticity of the recording, but has released a statement refuting the claims. The company also said Bally has been placed on leave.

“If the comments heard on the audio recording were in fact made by Mr. Bally, they are unacceptable. Such language does not reflect our values and the culture of our company. We do not tolerate that kind of language under any circumstances. Mr. Bally is temporarily on leave while we conduct an investigation,” the company said in a statement. “We are proud of the food we make, the people who make it and the high-quality ingredients we use. The comments heard on the recording about our food are not only inaccurate — they are patently absurd.”

The Daily Wire reached out to Campbell’s for additional comment.

Garza claims he reported the incident to his manager but was terminated 20 days later. He said he didn’t come forward before now because he was taking time to process what happened.
