The report states that Campbell’s admitted to violating the Clean Water Act at least 5,400 times between April 2018 and December 2024, with the incidents occurring at the canning factory located in Napoleon, Ohio.
“Campbell’s admission that it committed these violations will speed this case toward a trial that will decide what steps the company must take to curb its pollution and how large a civil penalty should be imposed. That’s great news for the people who live along the Maumee River and Lake Erie, who want prompt action on reducing sources of the toxic algae in their local waters,” said John Rumpler, Clean Water Program Director for Environment Ohio. “We appreciate Campbell’s willingness to work cooperatively with us and the federal government to solve its compliance problems, rather than spending time and effort contesting clear-cut violations of the Clean Water Act.”
Not soup related… but I used to enjoy Classico pasta sauces.
They started doing shrinkflation making the bottles so small that it wasn’t quite enough now for the size of meal I’d make, but when they were on sale I got some since the price was good.
The sauce seemed really watery compared to before.
I checked the ingredients. The top ingredient was water.
I found an old bottle I still had, the top ingredient was tomato paste.
Fuck this making products shittier for money ugh.
Haven’t bought it since.
