How can I find out how much fat is in a Campbell’s product?

Check out the nutrition label on the product. We follow all government regulations regarding product labeling, including listing the level of fat in a single serving. Please remember to check the package every time, because product recipes change frequently and ingredients are periodically added and replaced.

How can I find out the calorie level of a Campbell’s product?

Check out the nutrition label on the product. We follow all government regulations regarding product labeling, including listing cholesterol values on product packaging. Please remember to check the package every time, because product recipes change frequently and ingredients are periodically added and replaced.

How do you determine serving sizes?

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) determines serving sizes, which we are required to list on our packages. Of special note is the 1/2-cup serving size for condensed soup. This is the “as packaged” serving size, which translates to 1 cup as prepared. All of our product labels include the nutrient information for a single serving.

What are you doing to reduce the sodium content in your products?

One way we reduced sodium across our portfolio is by using alternative ingredients such as potassium salt. Potassium salt can replace a portion of the sodium, provide a savory flavor to foods and help consumers incorporate more of this essential mineral into their diet. Eating foods with potassium can help maintain a healthy blood pressure, which contributes to heart health. Potassium can help blunt the effects of sodium on blood pressure. Current Dietary Guidelines recommend that adults eat at least 4,700 mg of potassium and no more than 2,300 mg of sodium daily. If you want to reduce the amount of sodium in your diet, we offer more than 500 products across our Snacks and Meals & Beverages divisions that meet FDA’s strict criteria for being called “healthy,” which includes a limit on sodium per serving. In our Meals & Beverages division, we offer lower sodium varieties of Campbell’s soup, Swanson stock and broth, and V8 beverages to help consumers meet their unique dietary needs. Our Snacks division also offers consumers lower sodium options with products like Cape Cod Lightly Salted chips, Kettle Brand Unsalted Chips, Snyder’s of Hanover Unsalted Mini Pretzels, Emerald Natural Almonds and Walnuts, and more. To learn more about how we view sodium in our products, review our Position on Sodium.

What is Campbell’s position on trans fatty acids in food products?

We believe that a healthful diet is based on both variety and moderation, and that our diverse product line — including soups, broths, gravies, sauces, juice beverages, canned pastas, and baked goods — can be enjoyed as part of an overall balanced plan. We follow all government regulations regarding product labeling, including the new requirements and schedules that have been issued by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) concerning trans fat.

Antibiotic free chicken

In 2017, we committed to sourcing 100% “No Antibiotics Ever (NAE)” chicken for our diced and canned chicken products in the U.S. and Canada. We have since achieved this goal. This means we don’t allow antibiotics to be added to the feed, water, or any commercial vaccines used by our chicken suppliers. We use tens of millions of pounds of chicken a year, and we’re working with our suppliers to develop a stable, sustainable supply chain that can continue delivering on this commitment. 

Are you going to stop using High Fructose Corn Syrup?

Many people have told us they would prefer to avoid high fructose corn syrup, which is why we will continue to move away from using it in new products we launch and explore opportunities to remove it from certain existing products. More than 80% of the products we offer for retail sale in the United States do not contain high fructose corn syrup including Campbell’s Sauces, Campbell’s Homestyle soup, Swanson broth, Prego Italian sauces and Slow Kettle Style soups.

Cage-free eggs

We’re committed to the humane treatment of animals and animal welfare is a key part of our vision for a sustainable supply chain. We require our suppliers to implement procedures to prevent the mistreatment of animals, including how they are raised, cared for, transported, and processed. We’ve started using cage-free eggs in our products and are working with our suppliers to achieve the goal of sourcing 100% cage-free eggs by 2025. 

Do you make any soups, sauces or broths that don’t contain added MSG?

For people looking to avoid MSG, we make nearly 600 different product varieties that don’t contain added MSG. These include soups, broths, salsas, cooking sauces, canned pastas and others in our Meals & Beverages portfolio and crackers, chips, pretzels, popcorn, nuts, and other savory snacks in our Snacks portfolio.

Do you make non-GMO products?

We make a large selection of products that don’t contain ingredients derived from GMO crops, including products verified by the Non-GMO Project and certified organic products which cannot be produced with GMO ingredients. Brands that have products that have been verified by the Non-GMO Project include Snyder’s of Hanover, Late July Snacks, Emerald, Kettle Brand chips, Snack Factory Pretzel Crisps and Cape Cod chips. Brands that have certified organic products include Swanson, Pace, Late July Snacks, Pacific Foods, and Goldfish. 

How do I know if my Campbell’s product contains MSG?

If a Campbell’s product contains monosodium glutamate (MSG), the ingredient will be listed in our product ingredient statement.

How does Campbell’s label High Fructose Corn Syrup?

If high fructose corn syrup is used in a product, we will list it in our product ingredient statement.

How would I know if MSG is added to this product?

We follow all government regulations regarding the labeling of our products. In the case of MSG, the term Monosodium Glutamate will be clearly listed in the ingredient statement.

Palm oil

To reduce the risk of deforestation in our palm oil supply chain, we purchase 100% Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO) certified palm oil across our portfolio of brands. Both Campbell and our palm oil suppliers are RSPO members, a group composed of palm growers, palm oil users, retail food chains and NGOs. The RSPO was created to promote the development and use of sustainable palm oil through supply chain cooperation and an open dialogue with stakeholders. The certification for palm oil will be provided through the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil. Learn about our palm oil sourcing guidelines

Synthetic flavors and colors

All the ingredients we use in our products are declared safe by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. In a small number of our products, we do use colorings to make the food more visually appealing, which we label using their common names.  We understand that some people try to avoid artificial flavors and colors, and we continue to look at alternative solutions to remove these ingredients from our portfolio.

What are GMOs?

GMO is short for “genetically modified organisms.” It is sometimes called genetic engineering or bioengineering and refers to a process where desirable traits or characteristics are introduced into an organism. In America, many farmers who grow canola, corn, soybean, and sugar beet choose to use genetically modified seeds—and have done so for nearly 20 years—because it reduces costs and improves yields. More than 90% of these 4 crops in America are currently grown using genetically modified seeds. These crops are used to make a wide range of different ingredients that are used in foods we eat every day, from vegetable oils to sugar. 

What is Campbell’s position on labeling for foods that contain GMOs?

We’re committed to printing clear and simple language on the labels of our U.S. products which use ingredients derived from genetically modified crops. We talked to thousands of consumers and learned about what they want to know about GMOs in their food, including for specific GMO ingredients to be identified on labels using simple and familiar language. Our current label statement reads: The ingredients from corn / soy / canola / sugar in this product come from genetically modified crops. This meets consumers’ needs–it’s clear, simple, and familiar and it points out what are the specific GMO ingredients.

What is High Fructose Corn Syrup (HFCS)?

High Fructose Corn Syrup or HFCS is a liquid sweetener. High fructose corn syrup contains the same number of calories as table sugar and has been widely used in the food industry for more than fifty years.

What is hydrolyzed vegetable protein?

Hydrolyzed plant or vegetable proteins have naturally occurring glutamate. These flavor-enhancing proteins are derived from corn, wheat, soybeans, or other vegetables.  During preparation, the proteins are completely broken down into amino acids, which are an essential part of our diets. We list hydrolyzed plant proteins by their common names in the ingredient statements on our product labels. We do not include them under the broader listings of “spices” or “natural flavors.” We recommend that consumers always evaluate a product based on the ingredient listing on its label.

What is MSG?

Monosodium glutamate (MSG) is the sodium salt of a common amino acid. MSG occurs naturally in many foods, such as tomatoes and cheeses. It has been used safely as a seasoning in cooking for more than 100 years. It adds a savory or umami flavor and when used in conjunction with salt it creates a clean savory taste.

Why do you use HFCS in your products?

Although we have significantly reduced our use of the ingredient in recent years, we do use high fructose corn syrup when it is right for the recipe, mostly to help deliver a smoother texture than other sugars can provide, or to keep the cost of a product affordable.

Why does Campbell’s use GMOs?

We’re comfortable using these genetically modified crops because scientists and the FDA—who have been studying genetic engineering for many years—agree that food ingredients made with these methods are safe and aren’t different from other ingredients. Learn more about genetically modified crops. We know many of you want to know which ingredients we use are derived from these crops. Here’s a comprehensive list of ingredients that we use that may be derived from crops grown from genetically engineered seeds. These ingredients aren’t used in all products. 

• Corn 
• Corn (except sweet corn kernels) 
• Corn chips 
• Corn oil 
• Corn flour

Why use MSG in products?

MSG is lower in sodium compared with table salt (sodium chloride). It contains only 13% sodium compared to 39% sodium in table salt. This means a small amount of MSG can be used instead of salt to create an appealing savory flavor. This is particularly useful when making great tasting foods which have reduced sodium and fat.

Can you provide me with allergen information for Campbell’s products?

We are committed to providing accurate and reliable ingredient statements upon which you can make your purchasing decisions. As ingredients in our products may change, we recommend that you check the label on our products for the most current and accurate ingredient and nutritional information.  We follow all government regulation related to allergen labeling.

How does Campbell’s label dairy, casein, and whey ingredients?

We follow all government regulations regarding product labeling. When dairy products, including milk, butter, casein, whey and cheese, are present in any quantity, they will always be listed in our product ingredient statement.  We recommend that consumers evaluate each product based on its ingredient statement. To prevent possible cross-contact between products, we use an extensive and effective sanitation procedure between processing operations.

How does Campbell’s label soy protein ingredients?

We follow all government regulations regarding product labeling. When soy, soy lecithin, or soy proteins are present in any quantity, they will always be listed in our product ingredient statement.  We recommend that consumers evaluate each product based on its ingredient statement. To prevent possible cross-contact between products, we use an extensive and effective sanitation procedure between processing operations.

How does Campbell’s label the top nine allergens (peanuts, tree nuts, milk, eggs, fish, wheat, soy, sesame, and shellfish)?

We follow all government regulations regarding product labeling. When any of these top nine allergens is present in any quantity, it will always be listed in our product ingredient statement.  We recommend that consumers evaluate each product based on its ingredient statement. To prevent possible cross-contact between products, we use an extensive and effective sanitation procedure between processing operations.

Do you have any gluten-free products?

We have hundreds of different products across our portfolio that are gluten-free. These include Campbell’s Condensed Gluten Free Soups, Campbell’s Tomato Juice and most of our Pace salsas, Prego Italian sauces, Swanson broths and stocks, and V8 juices. Pacific Foods and Late July also offer a variety of gluten free products, while Snyder’s of Hanover and Pretzel Crisps offer a variety of gluten-free pretzels. You can find gluten-free products on our brand sites, including Campbell’s, Swanson, Pace, Prego, and Snyder’s of Hanover.

What process does Campbell’s use to ensure products are gluten-free?

We have a strict two-step process for validating a product as gluten-free and ensuring that it meets FDA’s criteria for the claim. First, we verify all the ingredients are gluten-free, then we analyze the finished product to make sure it meets all relevant requirements. Additionally, we test finished products at least once every six months to ensure continued compliance with our gluten-free policy.

Why are only some of Campbell’s products gluten-free?

Some of our recipes require food starches, and others do not. However, many of our products are made without gluten-containing ingredients but are manufactured on shared equipment that have not been tested for the presence of gluten. These products may be suitable for people looking to reduce gluten but not for those who may have celiac disease. These products can be identified by the lack of gluten-containing ingredients on the label, even though the labels does not make a gluten-free claim.

Does the packaging of your food contain BPA?

We use non-BPA lining in all of our aluminum and steel cans throughout our operations in North America. PET bottles, pouches and cartons such as those used for V8 beverages, Swanson broths and Campbell’s sauces are (and have always been) non-BPA packaging. Although the FDA has determined that BPA is safe to use in food packaging, we understand that some people would prefer to avoid it and we continue to work on packaging alternatives. The containers of a few other products have metal components that have limited food contact points but are key to ensuring that the lids remain tight. BPA is used as a coating on that metal but in small amounts.

How do I read the codes on my Campbell’s product?

The date code is a series of letters and numbers that tell you how long the product will maintain its top quality and flavor. The letters represent the first three letters of a month (such as Mar for March or Nov for November). The numbers after that tell you the day of the month, followed by the year. For example, the code could read Jun 13 2014. This means for optimal flavor, texture, and quality, you should use the product by June 13, 2014.

How do I remove the label from the can?

Simply soak the can in warm, soapy water for 20 minutes, and the label should peel away easily.

How does Campbell’s support recycling and/or biodegradable materials?

Like you, we know that the small choices we make, such as the packaging we use, can make a big difference over time. Across our brands, we are working to make our packaging more sustainable. For example, beginning in Fall 2019, V8 Fusion and V8 Blends moved from shrink-wrapped labels to wrap labels, which can easily be removed in the recycling process so the plastic bottle itself can now be recycled with ease. We also cut packaging waste for our Kettle Brand chip bags by 43 percent! This change will keep 2 million pounds of plastic out of landfills each year. We’re committed to transitioning 100% of our packaging to recyclable or industrially compostable designs and materials by 2030. To help you better understand how to properly dispose of and recycle our packing we’ve implemented How2Recycle instructions on many of our brand’s product labels and will continue to roll out until 100% of packaging includes recycling instructions by 2022. For more information visit how2recycle.info. Of course, recycling is subject to local guidelines, so we suggest you contact your local authority to confirm that any packaging is acceptable for recycling in your area.

How long can I keep my unopened product in my pantry?

That varies based on the product and the storage conditions. To ensure the best flavor, texture, and overall quality, we recommend using the product before its “Best Used By Date,” printed on each container. However, if the product is not stored properly, the shelf life will be shortened. To maximize the shelf life, we recommend that you store non-refrigerated items in a cool, dry place where temperatures rarely exceed 70° F, and that refrigerated products be kept in your refrigerator at approximately 40° F.

What does the “Best Used By” date mean?

This date indicates the product’s expected shelf life. We recommend using the product before this date to ensure the best flavor, texture, and overall quality. Example:

Where can I find the “Best Used By” date on the product?

Depending on the product type, the “Best Used By” date is printed on the end of the can, on the lid and/or neck of the jar or bottle, or at the bottom of the back of the pouch.

How did SpaghettiOs pasta get it’s start?

Donald Goerke invented SpaghettiOs pasta in 1965. Goerke, who worked with Campbell’s Franco-American brand, had been challenged to create a pasta dish that kids could eat easily with a spoon. He tried all sorts of shapes before deciding on the O, and he soon became known as the “Daddy-O of SpaghettiOs.” The product was promoted with the catchy jingle, “The neat, round spaghetti you can eat with a spoon: Uh-oh, SpaghettiOs!” The kid-friendly pasta transitioned to the Campbell’s brand in 2004

How do you make your soup?

Great question! For many of our soups, it takes just four steps: 1. Prepping. We select and prepare the finest ingredients, such as washing, peeling, and dicing vegetables. 2. Mixing. We carefully mix ingredients, such as chicken stock, before adding them to the can. 3. Cooking. Ingredients are added in a particular order – for example, noodles first, then chicken, broth, and other ingredients – to create the best flavor. We seal the can and cook it at a temperature to make sure the product will remain safe under normal conditions at the grocery store and in your pantry. 4. Packaging. We label the finished soup can and box it up before sending it to your grocery store.

Where did the Labels for Education® program go?

For over 43 years, Campbell’s proudly offered Labels for Education® which has contributed more than $110 million in school supplies to tens of thousands of schools across the U.S. It has been one of a number of ways in which we support Americans kids and families as part of our commitment to being a responsible corporate citizen. During the past few years, we had been assessing the impact of these programs and through this, we saw that participation in Labels for Education declined considerably. Sadly, it was at the point where we had no choice but to make the very difficult decision to end the program. The Labels for Education program has officially ended, we want to thank all the schools and families that have made the program so special over the years. We are proud to have been part of your communities and appreciate the support you have shown for our brands. If you have questions, please call 1-800-257-8443.
