"Garza alleges he was fired in January after he raised concerns about comments made by Martin Bally, Campbell's vice-president of information technology including referring to one of the company's ingredients as bioengineered meat while going off on a racist tirade. The lawsuit recounts that Garza met with Bally in November 2024 to discuss his salary. However, Garza alleges, the meeting turned into an hour-long rant by Bally during which he disparaged the quality of Campbell's products and customers, made racist comments about Indian employees and admitted to coming to work while high on marijuana edibles."

The voice adds: Who buys our shit? I don't buy Campbell's products barely any more. It's not healthy now that I know what the fuck's in it bioengineered meat. I don't wanna eat a piece of chicken that came from a 3D printer Allegedly referring to Campbell's employees of Indian heritage, the voice continued: Fucking Indians don't know a fucking thing Like they couldn't think for their fucking selves."
