Campbell Soup Co. (CPB) said that it will continue its significant sodium reduction efforts across its portfolio to make great-tasting, healthier products for consumers. Also, the company supports the intent of the proposal by the New York City Department of Health.
"We believe any initiative must be national in scope and not a city or state-based approach. We will continue to work with New York City, federal governmental agencies and members of the food industry toward a national strategy, " commented Chor-San Khoo, Vice President of Campbell's Global Nutrition and Health.
Campbell said it has more than quadrupled its number of lower sodium products in the marketplace from 25 in 2005 to more than 110 products today.
Moreover, the company has reduced the sodium in more than 90 of its soups, including its condensed Tomato soup; its entire lines of V8 beverages and SpaghettiOs pastas; its Prego sauces; and many of its Pepperidge Farm breads.
