Building on our history as a leader in food, guided by our purpose and values, and doing our part to create a more sustainable future for the world we share: We’re committed to making delicious food more accessible, more affordable, and more convenient.
Campbell Soup Company was founded by our namesake Joseph Campbell, a fruit merchant, and Abraham Anderson, a commercial canner in 1869 as Anderson & Campbell. It wasn’t until Dr. John T. Dorrance’s tenure as president that soup became our middle name in honor of his groundbreaking invention—condensed soup. Now, over 150 years later, we’re proud of the legacy we’ve built as a trusted food company and the role our brands play in kitchens, cupboards, pantries—and bellies—throughout North America.
