Campbell’s Seed To Sandwich Program Promotes Healthy Lunches

Even soup people love sandwiches.  Campbell Soup Company, in partnership with Bartram’s Garden and Richard Allen Preparatory Charter School in Philadelphia, are teaching kids how to grow and prepare fresh and healthy foods.  The Seed To Sandwich program teaches middle school students how to plant and harvest garden vegetables, and how to prepare them into sandwiches.

Last year, Campbell donated 25 packs of tomato seeds for seventh graders to plant at America’s oldest botanical garden.  Today Campbell research and development chefs showed students how to incorporate the tomatoes they planted, along with other vegetables, into healthful soups and sandwiches.

Seed to Sandwich reinforces Campbell’s commitment to childhood nutrition and making healthy school lunches more accessible. Last November, Campbell expanded and reformulated its line of soups offered in schools to meet the standards outlined by the Alliance for a Healthier Generation – a partnership between the American Heart Association and the William J. Clinton Foundation. Campbell was one of the first participants to join the initiative in 2006.
