CAMDEN, N.J. (AP) - Executives at the Campbell Soup Co. have heard the same thing almost since Andy Warhol was making art out of their cans in the 1960s: Lower the sodium in soup without sacrificing taste and people will eat even more of it.
Now, after years of gradually reducing the sodium in its soups, the Camden-based company says it has made a breakthrough: natural, low-sodium sea salt. It will be used in about 30 soups both new and reformulated recipes scheduled to be on supermarket shelves in August, Campbell announced Wednesday.
"We've been everywhere on the globe trying to find a sea salt with all the characteristics of this one," Chief Executive Douglas R. Conant told The Associated Press in an interview.
