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.

He also referenced "bioengineered meat," saying, "I don’t wanna eat a piece of chicken that came from a 3D printer."

Speak for yourself, I think that's super cool and I hope lab grown vat meat will eventually overtake the unnecessary cruelty in our meat supply chain.

    I mean, I don't wanna eat a piece of chicken that came from a can. Bar to clear for flavor is pretty low versus his brand, so yeah bring on the ethical 3d printed chicken. Can't be worse.

    Fucking. Hell.

    1. Don't mock people who are trying their hardest to make a living.
    2. Well off people also buy your food.
    3. The stock market is bad enough as it is. Stop saying shit that will tank it further.

    Stock market as in the soup prices or stock market as in businesses?

    Stock market as in stock market. The economy is shit and stock prices are down across the board while the cost of literally everything except Arizona Tea and Costco hotdogs are soaring. Soup prices, like all foodstuffs, are severely overinflated, but that is not specific to Campbells.

    Your company is already down. Don't do stuff to make it worse.

    ""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.
