Campbell cuts sodium in 48 soups
From Times Wire Services
Campbell Soup Co. said it was reducing the sodium in 48 soups to meet government criteria for healthy foods.
The 36 ready-to-serve soups and 12 condensed soups for children will have 480 milligrams of sodium per serving. That reduces the sodium in the children’s soups by one-fifth, the Camden, N.J.-based company said.
Campbell also said it would increase its soup prices by 5% because of the rising cost of wheat. The company will also raise the price of its Prego spaghetti sauces and V8 juices.
