Campbell’s Soup Drama: 3D-Printed Chicken or Just IT Rage?

KEY POINTS

•In November 2025, Campbell’s faced a lawsuit after a former employee leaked audio of VP Martin Bally's controversial comments.
•Bally referred to Campbell’s chicken as '3D printed' and 'bioengineered' while making racist remarks in the recording.
•Campbell’s denied using lab-grown or artificial meat, confirming all chicken is USDA-certified from reputable US suppliers.
•The company placed Bally on leave, emphasizing his IT role is unrelated to food production amid the ongoing investigation.

Campbell’s Soup spent November 2025 on damage control after a lawsuit leaked audio with IT VP Martin Bally referring to their chicken as 'bioengineered' and '3D printed'—phrases more sci-fi horror than soup reality. The VP also threw in a racial slur and called their soup 'for poor people,' instantly turning canned comfort into courtroom discomfort. Campbell’s insists no lab-grown or 3D-printed chicken is in their US-sourced, USDA-certified goodies, putting Bally on leave. Meanwhile, KFC’s been playing with Russian bioprinted chicken nuggets since 2020, proving meat tech is weirdly real. Campbell’s had to clarify: IT doesn’t cook, just geeks out.
