Campbell's Soup Company is facing a fiery consumer backlash after denying claims that its chicken soup contains 3D-printed or bioengineered meat, with social media users mocking the company and vowing to make their own meals. The American food giant's attempt to reassure customers about its product ingredients has only intensified skepticism online, turning the controversy into a viral debate.

The uproar erupted following the posting of a statement on Campbell's official Faceboo page, defending the quality of its chicken soup ingredients. Despite the company's assurances that its soups contain '100% real, antibiotic-free chicken from the US,' the damage was already done. The post has amassed over 30,000 comments, most reacting with laughter emojis or sarcastic remarks, dismissing the company's claims as a mere defence rather than a credible explanation.
