Overview
- The suit alleges VP and CISO Martin Bally made racist remarks about Indian coworkers and derided customers and products, including references to “bioengineered meat.”
- Plaintiff Robert Garza says he secretly recorded more than an hour and 15 minutes during a restaurant meeting that was supposed to be about his compensation.
- The complaint states Bally admitted to coming to work high on marijuana edibles.
- Garza says he reported the remarks to supervisor J.D. Aupperle in January 2025 and was fired about 20 days later.
- The lawsuit, filed Thursday in Wayne County Circuit Court, names Bally, Aupperle, and Campbell Soup Company, and the company says the comments would be unacceptable if accurate and that it is actively investigating.
