  • CAMPBELL SOUP CO Profile

    Soup means M'm! M'm! Money! for the Campbell Soup Company. The company is the world's biggest soup maker; its almost 70% share in the US is led by Campbell's chicken noodle, tomato, and cream of mushroom soups. The company also makes meal kits, Franco-American sauces and canned pasta, Pace picante sauce, Pepperidge Farm baked goods (yes, the goldfish crackers you sneak at midnight), and V8 beverages. Its Australian division produces snack foods and its popular "down-under" Arnott's biscuit brand. Campbell sold its Godiva Chocolatier business in 2008.
