Do we like Campbell's?
Soups, Goldfish, Rao's sauces, Snyder's and Pepperidge Farm snacks and meals; based in Camden, New Jersey, US
Our score: 5 out of 10. A big, long-established food maker with no major regulator fines in what we found. The thin evidence, a 2025 workplace row and falling sales leave us in the middle.
Campbell's is the soup-and-snacks giant behind Goldfish, Snyder's and Rao's. Mick Beekhuizen became CEO on 1 February 2025, taking over from Mark Clouse. He joined in 2019 as CFO and helped drive the $2.7bn Sovos Brands deal that brought in Rao's.
The company has kept buying. It bought Snyder's-Lance for $4.87bn in cash (announced December 2017) and completed the La Regina acquisition on 4 May 2026. Its latest results show full-year net sales of $9.744bn, down 5%, with the company citing top-line softness and inflation pressure.
The big drama came in November 2025. A former employee, Robert Garza, sued, saying he was fired after reporting a vice president's remarks. The suit alleges the VP called Campbell's products meant for 'poor people' and made racist remarks about Indian workers. Campbell's fired the VP and apologised, calling the remarks 'vulgar, offensive and false'.
We'd call it a middle-of-the-road score. Acting fast on the exec row counts for something, but the allegations about its culture are worrying and we found little on its good deeds.
