04:11 PM EST, 11/26/2025 (MT Newswires) -- Campbell's (CPB) said Wednesday that, after reviewing an audio recording released by former employee Robert Garza, the company determined the voice on the tape is that of Martin Bally, a vice president in its information technology department, and that Bally is no longer employed as of Tuesday.

Garza filed a lawsuit on Nov. 20 and released what he says is a year-old audio clip. Campbell said it first learned of the suit and segments of the recording on Nov. 20 and was not previously informed of any audio.

The company called the remarks on the recording "vulgar, offensive and false" and said they do not reflect its values. Campbell also said comments about its food were inaccurate and noted its soups use No Antibiotics Ever chicken from USDA-approved US suppliers.

Multiple media outlets previously reported the recording captured Bally making remarks about Indian co-workers and saying Campbell made "highly processed food" for "poor people," including comments about lab-produced chicken.
