Good News About Campbell's Soup products...
In September 2013, the U.S. congress passed a law making it possible for chicken products processed in China to be imported and sold in the U.S. WITHOUT any labelling stating that it came from China. I was concerned because of China's unacceptable record in the area of food and consumer product safety. So I quit buying all but fresh chicken that I cook myself. That meant that I also quit buying any canned soup containing chicken. But I still wondered about it, so I emailed Campbell's Soup company about the subject. Today, I got the following
Dear XXXXXXX,
