The label said Vegetable Beef, but consumers in at least 13 states found a bonus item, too: strips of metal in the soup. So Campbell Soup Co. was forced to recall 109,000 pounds -- about a single day's production -- of its Campbell's Healthy Request Vegetable Beef Condensed Soup on Friday. Company officials offered no explanation for how the metal shards found their way into those red-and-white, 10.5-ounce cans. But at least they had the good taste not to suggest that perhaps the metal contained minerals beneficial to the customer.
Mmm-Mmm Hard
