Local 4 first played the exclusive audio last week, when Robert Garza, a former Campbell’s employee, spoke to us about his firing. Garza said he secretly recorded a conversation with company Vice President Martin Bally. That recording includes comments about the product’s “bioengineered meat,” “chicken from a 3-D printer,” and “poor people” customers. On Wednesday, Campbell Soup Company announced that Bally is no longer with the company. Here is their full statement: We want to make sure you know the facts. Robert Garza, a former Campbell’s employee, recently released an alleged year-old audio recording of him speaking with Martin Bally, a VP in Campbell’s Information Technology department. Mr. Garza released the recording now in connection with a lawsuit he filed against the company which alleges retaliation for raising complaints about Mr. Bally. The company learned of the litigation and first heard segments of the audio on November 20, 2025. Neither Mr. Garza nor his lawyer ever notified us of the existence of an audio recording. After a review, we believe the voice on the recording is in fact Martin Bally. The comments were vulgar, offensive and false, and we apologize for the hurt they have caused. This behavior does not reflect our values and the culture of our company, and we will not tolerate that kind of language under any circumstances. As of November 25, Mr. Bally is no longer employed by the company. We’re thankful for the millions of people who buy and enjoy our products and we’re honored by the trust they put in us. We are proud of the food we make, the people who make it and the high-quality ingredients we use to provide consumers with good food at a good value. The comments heard on the recording about our food are not only inaccurate—they are patently absurd. The chicken meat in our soups comes from long-trusted, USDA approved U.S. suppliers and meets our high quality standards. All our soups are made with No Antibiotics Ever chicken meat. Any claims to the contrary are completely false.

Who buys our s--t? I don’t buy Campbell’s products barely anymore. It’s not healthy now that I know what the f---‘s in it,” part of the recording said. “Bioengineered meat -- I don’t wanna eat a piece of chicken that came from a 3-D printer.” The recording lasted longer than an hour and 15 minutes and included what Garza said was a “disgusting” rant about his coworkers. “F---ing Indians don’t know a f---ing thing,” the recording said. “Like they couldn’t think for their f---ing selves,” it said in part.

Soup cans seem like Depression era food that doesn't have much of a place in the modern world aside from people who stock bunkers with non perishables. I wonder what the expiration dates on those cans are from the time of production. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Campbell%27s_Kids Mon, 01 Dec 2025 13:50:21 -0800 zerosugar from private IP Reply #18369125 You know what else is some terrible food and people sort of act like it is cool? Instant Ramen. I never ate it because it was too salty. My friend Emily used to eat it daily sometimes twice daily when we were kids in the 00s. She had an older obese mother who never cooked. She ended up being rushed to the hospital with kidney stones. They give Ramen at anime cons too to give a taste of Japanese culture. I have eaten once or twice at Ramen restaurants, but I would never eat instant Ramen. Its sold so much at the dollar stores too. I swear there needs to be a warning label on these high sodium foods. According to AI: High salt intake increases the risk of kidney stones by increasing the amount of calcium in your urine and decreasing substances that prevent stone formation. To reduce this risk, limit processed and fast foods, read food labels to monitor sodium, and drink plenty of water.

Canned tuna is probably the only canned food that will always be a thing. Maybe canned corn.

I couldn't find the profile of the dude Robert Garza who reported him, but his pics are also all over the news headlines. He is a younger guy. Mon, 01 Dec 2025 22:06:29 -0800 zerosugar from private IP Reply #17529691 Is 3d meat that bad though and wouldn't it be vegan approved? I mean we do not know the long term consequences and studies should be conducted obviously, but it can be a good thing if its safe and the composition is the same as normal meat. Cloning meat should definitely be a thing if it eliminates cruelty. Maybe somehow even cloning fur lol so there can be cruelty free fur coats.
