Campbell’s slammed for adding salt to soup
16th July 2011
The 142-year-old US food maker decided to add salt in more than two dozen soups after a health-inspired low-sodium push failed to lift its sales.
Shame on them for thinking of their sales! Who do they think they are, a business?
A spokesman for the Centre for Science in the Public Interest, a consumer health advocacy group, said: “Why not improve their soups with more and better quality vegetables and chicken, or with herbs and spices? I suppose that’s a question that answers itself, and the answer is money.”
Funny how these ‘consumer health advocacy groups’ don’t bother to consult with consumers before ‘advocating’ on their behalf.
A spokeswoman for the New Jersey-based company, which sells soups in 120 countries, said: “We provide a lot of options for people so they can choose the soup they want.
And that is their abiding sin.
