Although we have significantly reduced our use of the ingredient in recent years, we do use High Fructose corn syrup when it is right for the recipe, mostly to help deliver a smoother texture than other sugars can provide, or to keep the cost of a product affordable. High fructose corn syrup is labelled glucose-fructose in Canada and contains the same number of calories as table sugar. It has been widely used in the food industry for more than fifty years. Many people have told us they would prefer to avoid HFCS, which is why we will continue to move away from using it in new products we launch and explore opportunities to remove it from existing products. More than 95% of the products we offer for retail sale in Canada do not contain high fructose corn syrup.

For people looking to avoid MSG, we make around 130 different varieties of soups, sauces and broths that don’t contain added MSG. These include Campbell’s Everyday Gourmet, Campbell’s Ready to Use broths and Campbell’s Great for Cooking Condensed soups. For those who experience food sensitivity reactions to MSG, our products still contain naturally-occurring glutamates which may cause a reaction in sensitive individuals. Ingredients such as mushrooms, tomatoes, parmesan cheese and yeast extract contain naturally-occurring glutamates.

If a Campbell product contains monosodium glutamate (MSG), the ingredient will be listed in our product ingredient statement.

Campbell Company of Canada follows all government regulations regarding the labeling of our products. In the case of MSG, the term of Monosodium Glutamate will be clearly listed in the ingredient statement. If there are ingredients with naturally-occurring glutamate, they will also be labeled by their common name such as autolyzed yeast extract or hydrolyzed plant protein. We do not include any of those items under the broader listings of “spices” or “natural flavours”. We recommend that consumers always check the ingredient statement and evaluate the product based on the statement.

High Fructose Corn Syrup or HFCS is a liquid sweetener, also called Glucose-Fructose on food labels in Canada. High fructose corn syrup contains the same number of calories as table sugar and has been widely used in the food industry for more than fifty years.

Monosodium Glutamate (MSG) is the sodium salt of a common amino acid.  Monosodium Glutamate occurs naturally in many foods, such as tomatoes and cheeses.  It enhances the savoury flavour, and when used in conjunction with salt it creates a clean savoury taste.

Although we have significantly reduced our use of the ingredient in recent years, we do use high fructose corn syrup when it is right for the recipe, mostly to help deliver a smoother texture than other sugars can provide, or to keep the cost of a product affordable.

MSG is lower in sodium compared with table salt (sodium chloride). It contains only 13 percent sodium compared to 39 percent sodium in table salt. This means a small amount of MSG can be used instead of salt to create an appealing savoury flavor. This is particularly useful when making great tasting foods which have reduced sodium and fat.

We are committed to providing accurate and reliable ingredient statements upon which you can make your purchasing decisions. As ingredients in our products may change, we recommend that you check the label on our products for the most current and accurate ingredient and nutritional information. We follow all government regulation related to allergen labeling.

The Campbell Company of Canada follows all government regulations regarding the labelling of our products. Health Canada has identified 10 substances most frequently associated with food allergies and food sensitivities. The 10 priority food allergens include peanuts, tree nuts, milk, eggs, seafood (fish, crustaceans, shellfish), soy, mustard, sesame, sulphites, wheat, and other cereal grains containing gluten (barley, rye, oats and triticale). We list those ingredients in the product ingredient statement. We do not hide those items under the broader listings of “spices” or “natural flavours.” We recommend that consumers always evaluate the product based on the ingredient statement.

Simply soak the can in warm, soapy water for 20 minutes, and the label should peel away easily.

Like you, we know that the small choices we make, such as the packaging we use, can make a big difference over time. We are working toward a goal of deriving 100 percent of our global packaging materials from sustainable sources – that is, materials that are renewable, recyclable, or contain recycled content – by 2020. Of course, recycling is subject to local guidelines, so we suggest you contact your local authority to confirm that any packaging is acceptable for recycling in your area.

That varies based on the product and the storage conditions. To ensure the best flavor, texture, and overall quality, we recommend using the product before its “Best Before” date, printed on each container. However, if the product is not stored properly, the shelf life will be shortened. To maximize the shelf life, we recommend that you store non-refrigerated items in a cool, dry place where temperatures rarely exceed 21°C

Great question! For many of our soups, it takes just four steps:

1. Prepping. We select and prepare the finest ingredients, such as washing, peeling, and dicing vegetables.
2. Mixing. We carefully mix ingredients, such as chicken stock, before adding them to the can.
3. Cooking. Ingredients are added in a particular order – for example, noodles first, then chicken, broth, and other ingredients – to create the best flavor. We seal the can and cook it at a temperature to make sure the product will remain safe under normal conditions at the grocery store and in your pantry.
4. Packaging. We label the finished soup can and box it up before sending it to your grocery store.

Yes. We are comfortable using these genetically modified crops because scientists and Health Canada, who have been studying genetic engineering for many years, agree that food ingredients made with these methods are safe and aren’t different from other ingredients. Click here to learn more.

GMO is short for “genetically modified organisms.” It is sometimes called genetic engineering and refers to a process where desirable traits or characteristics are introduced into an organism.

In Canada, four main GM crops currently grown are canola, soybean, corn and sugar beet. Some farmers choose to use genetically modified seeds and have done so for nearly twenty years because it reduces costs and improves yields. These crops are used to make a wide range of different ingredients that are used in foods we eat every day, ranging from vegetable oils to some sugar. The following list is a comprehensive selection of ingredients that we use that may be derived from crops grown from genetically engineered seeds. These ingredients are NOT used in all products.

We’re sorry to tell you that we’re no longer making Campbell’s Green Pea soup or French Canadian Pea soup, and they are not available for purchase. We know consumers are loyal to their favorite products, and we never like to discontinue an item that might be a staple at someone’s house.

As an alternative, we think you might love our Habitant® French-Canadian Pea Soup.

We know consumers are loyal to their favorite products, and we never like to discontinue an item that might be a staple at someone’s house. However, tastes and preferences constantly change, and supermarket shelves have to find space for new launches. Periodically, we examine product sales and are forced to make the difficult decision to keep some products and discontinue others. We hope you can find a new favorite among our many other product offerings.

Due to our focus on alleviating hunger, we have made a corporate commitment to focus our charitable initiatives on contributing to the issue of hunger through our partnerships with local food banks and through our Help Hunger Disappear program. While we wish we could facilitate every request, Campbell Canada partners with Food Banks Canada and Daily Bread Food Bank to help us distribute our food to Canadians in need across the country. We suggest reaching out to these organizations to join their network. You can find a food bank near you through Food Banks Canada locator at https://www.foodbankscanada.ca/utility-pages/find-a-food-bank.aspx

Campbell Soup Company has an extensive Environmental, Social, and Governance strategy.

Effective December 14, 2021, Health Canada will require all food products to conform to the new labelling requirements. For sugars, only total sugars will continue to be shown in the Nutrition Fact Table, now accompanied by a percentage of daily value. In addition, the ingredient list will now group all of the sugars in the product in one place.

Below is a list of our more popular soups. If you cannot find yours, please contact us anytime.

Campbell Canada follows the guidelines provided by Health Canada’s Food and Drugs Act for all of our products. The relevant regulation states that Canadian Nutrition Facts Table must provide the total amount of sugar in a product from all sources rather than a specific line item for “added sugars” as required by U.S. regulation.
