Campbell has become the first company to receive the “Mission Achievement Award” from the American Heart Association.

This new award recognizes an organization whose extraordinary efforts help to advance the mission of the American Heart Association through consumer education and awareness, corporate programming, and industry leadership in prevention.

“We are honored to be recognized for our efforts to promote a heart-healthy lifestyle, from our great-tasting, heart-healthy soups, sauces, beverages and breads in the marketplace, to the culture of wellness we have created in the workplace,” said Denise Morrison, President, North America Soup, Sauces and Beverages, who accepted the award on behalf of Campbell at the American Heart Association’s 95^th annual New York City Heart Ball.

The AHA has also recognized Campbell as a platinum-level “Fit Friendly Company” for the past four years due to its efforts to promote a heart-healthy lifestyle at work, with programs such as the 10-K-A-Day Walking Challenge and the annual Health Station Tour.

Campbell has been a national supporter of the AHA’s Go Red for Women campaign since 2006, pledging over $3.6 million to help raise awareness of heart disease in women.

Campbell offers more than 115 products that the meet the AHA’s criteria to display the AHA's heart-check mark, which helps consumers identify foods that are low in fat, saturated fat and cholesterol, and are lower in sodium. These include 25 varieties of Campbell’s Healthy Request soups, 28 varieties of Pepperidge Farm whole grain breads, Low Sodium V8 juice and all V8 V-Fusion juices, Prego Heart Smart Italian sauces and Swanson Chicken. And this year, the entire line of V8 Splash beverages is also sporting the AHA’s heart-check mark.
