Campbell Soup executive called its products food for "poor people," lawsuit claims [View all]

Source: CBS News

A lawsuit filed in Michigan last week alleges that a Campbell Soup Company executive made offensive comments about Indian workers and said the company's products were for "poor people" during a conversation with a former employee.

The suit was filed by Robert Garza, who was hired by Campbell's as a cybersecurity analyst in September 2024.
