Overview
- Former security analyst Robert Garza filed suit in Wayne County Circuit Court naming Campbell Soup Company, Vice President and Chief Information Security Officer Martin Bally, and supervisor J.D. Aupperle.
- Garza alleges an hour‑plus recording captured Bally disparaging Campbell’s customers and products, including comments about “bioengineered meat” and refusing to eat “3‑D printer” chicken.
- The complaint says Bally used explicit slurs about Indian employees and called them “idiots,” describing a hostile work environment.
- Garza claims he reported the recording in January 2025 and was fired on Jan. 30 in retaliation, received no human resources follow‑up, and spent 10 months finding new work.
- Campbell Soup Company stated that the reported comments would be unacceptable if accurate and said it is actively investigating the matter.
