Apparently, Campbell’s forgot to take the salt out of their low-sodium soup.
Four New Jersey women are suing the company for allegedly misleading customers into paying more for the low-sodium varieties of soup, even though the soup has almost as much sodium as regular Campbell’s (according to the women).
Said the lawyer of the plaintiffs:
“Consumers should not have to read the back of the soup can to be sure the information on the front is truthful.”
Campbell’s has released a statement saying that they are not false advertising:
“Campbell has complete confidence in the accuracy of our labels and our marketing communications and that they meet regulatory and other legal requirements.”
All this over a little salt…
