CAMDEN, N.J., Nov. 7 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ — Campbell Soup Company

the American Heart Association’s Go Red for Women movement. To help raise

“At Campbell, we are dedicated to finding ways to help Americans achieve
their daily health and wellness goals,” said Denise Morrison, President of

People’s Lives, Everywhere, Every Day. In addition to being a “Proud National
