Campbell’s soup rolls out new reduced-salt soups in US
Campbell Soup Company will begin shipping 21 lines of reduced-sodium soup this month, with salt levels reduced between 25% and 45% on previous levels.
The soups, including favorites like Chicken with Rice and Minestrone, are expected to appear on supermarket shelves beginning in June, with all varieties in stores by mid-September. Most will feature communication on the front label that reads “Less Sodium – With Natural Sea Salt Added” to indicate that they are now lower in sodium.
Campbells has now reduced the sodium in nearly 130 of its products, including 45 Campbell’s condensed soups.
“Reducing sodium in nearly half of our flagship condensed soups is a critical milestone in Campbell’s long-standing sodium reduction efforts. Beyond simply offering lower sodium product lines, we’ve also made significant sodium reductions in our original soups,” said Lisa Walker, Vice President Campbell’s condensed soup, broth and Campbell’s Kitchen.
“We know from our decades of experience in sodium reduction that people want foods that are reduced in sodium and taste good, and we are confident that these soups deliver the great taste that people expect from Campbell.”

I think it’s great that Campbell is offering low sodium soups for people who want to reduce their sodium intake. Their “Healthy Request” line of products shows that they care about our health despite the the fact that these products may not sell as well.
What I do not think is a great idea is the fact that they are changing the recipies of some of our favorite soups like Homestyle Chicken Noodle and Ministroni and not offering the origional product that we have come to expect. My wife and I have tried the new Ministroni with “Less Sodium” and “Sea Salt Added” and we don’t like it.
The amount of salt in our food should be our choice, not some corporation acting in out “Best Interests”. What are we CHILDREN?
Give us back our ministroni and LEAVE OUR SOUPS ALONE!!
Thank you
