Campbell Soup Company: Pesticide Use in Agricultural Supply Chains

WHEREAS: American families have long trusted Campbell Soup Company’s iconic brands for providing nourishing food products. Consumers are increasingly demanding healthy, natural, and safe food products, including those grown without pesticides that can harm the health of consumers, farmers, communities, and the environment.
