The Campbell's Company

About

The Campbell's Company is an American food manufacturer seated at 1 Campbell Place, Camden, New Jersey, founded in 1869 as a partnership between the fruit merchant Joseph A. Campbell and the icebox maker Abraham Anderson.^[1] It traded as Campbell Soup Company until a change of legal name took effect on 19 November 2024; the GLEIF register still carries the former name as a previous legal name under LEI 5493007JDSMX8Z5Z1902.^[2] Cans printed before and shortly after the change still show the old name in the responsible-firm block.^[3] The company holds GS1 US company prefix 0051000, under which its condensed soups are numbered; that attribution is derived from the brand owner named in the USDA Branded Foods GDSN record, because no public GS1 lookup names the licensee.^[4]
