Campbell's CISO Canned over Alleged 'Poor People' Rant

Campbell's US CISO Martin Bally faces investigation after a secretly recorded meeting revealed disparaging and xenophobic remarks, and admission to cannabis use at work.

  • On Monday, Campbell Soup Company placed Martin Bally, its US CISO and vice president, on temporary leave while investigating allegations tied to a secretly recorded September 2024 meeting and a lawsuit by Robert Garza.
  • The tape reportedly captures xenophobic comments toward Indian colleagues and a claim of being high at work, including Bally disparaging products and admitting to cannabis edibles use.
  • Garza says he recorded a September 2024 meeting and reported it to his supervisor in January 2025; he was dismissed 20 days later, and his lawyers gave an apparent recording to Business Insider, which has not authenticated it.
  • In a statement Tuesday, Campbell Soup Company called the remarks `patently absurd` and said its chicken meat comes from `long-trusted, USDA approved U.S. suppliers`, while Campbell's stock closed down 0.62% to $30.42 and Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier announced an investigation.
  • Campbell noted the remarks came from an IT person who has no role in food production and emphasized they `do not reflect our values and the culture of our company`; there is no public evidence of 3D‑printed meat, yet the claim spread on social media.
