The complaint, Garza v. Campbell Soup Company, case number 25-018465-CD, was filed on November 20, 2025, by the Runyan Law Group on behalf of plaintiff Robert Garza. The defendants are Campbell Soup Company and supervisor J.D. Aupperle.

The claims—centered on a secretly recorded tirade in which a senior vice president allegedly mocked the company’s products, its customers, and Indian employees—challenge the credibility of Campbell’s public values and highlight broader concerns about how corporations handle discrimination complaints.

""Keep in mind, the alleged comments are made by an IT person, who has nothing to do with how we make our food."

That's from the spokesperson for the company, ignoring that the comments were from the C-Level originally, and simultaneously seeking to discredit the source. (And casually insulting all IT people)

Given the allegation is about a toxic culture, that's not a good statement for the company to make.
