Hard Soup to Follow

An executive at the Campbell’s Soup Company was recorded making wild and angry statements about the quality of the company’s products. Martin Bally, who is now on leave pending an investigation into the incident, claimed for over an hour in a leaked rant that “We have shit for fucking poor people” and that the meat “came from a 3D printer.” He also goes on to lambast “fucking Indians.” 

The audio recording was leaked by a former employee, who was allegedly fired after making a complaint about the call to the company. That employee is now suing his former employer over wrongful termination and workplace hostilities. For their part, Campbell’s has issued a statement saying that all the claims made by Bally are “patently false,” and that they do not in fact use a printer to make their chicken. Unsurprisingly, the company’s stock took quite a hit following the leak, though it is unlikely the threat will be mortal in the long term.
