As an adult, I could never understand why canned chicken soup is so dry; maybe this will explain it.
Key Points from the Article
-
Investigation Triggered:
Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier announced an investigation into Campbell Soup following the release of a secret audio recording. -
Reason for Risk:
The state enforces a ban on lab-grown meat, and Uthmeier stated violators will be “shut down.” -
Recording Details:
-
Allegedly features Campbell’s VP & CISO, Martin Bally, making controversial remarks about product quality and bioengineered meat.
-
Bally expressed distrust of lab-grown meat and criticized company products.
-
-
Company Response:
Campbell Soup kind of denies claims of using lab-grown meat; however, it typically speaks in lawyer-speak, and it is not clear whether it is really denying or asserting that all chicken is USDA-approved, antibiotic-free, and sourced from trusted suppliers. -
Legal Context:
Florida’s ban on lab-grown meat was signed into law last year; similar bans are in place in seven states.
