Dive Summary:
- Campbell Soup Co. on Friday announced the recall of 80 cases of SpaghettiOs that were mistakenly labeled as Swanson 100% Natural Chicken Broth.
- The recall covers about 1,740 cans that originated at a plant in Paris, Texas, but traveled on to be distributed across Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Oklahoma, and Texas.
- Due to the labeling error, the cans do not note allergens such as wheat, milk and soy.
Dive Insight:
The recall news could have come during a better week for Campbell. As it happened, the company also announced its Q4 results last week, which included a $158 million loss. That figure will likely sting more than this SpaghettiOs recall, but the labeling snafu certainly won't help boost slouching sales.
