For the first half, our U.S. soup business delivered strong results with solid sales growth and enhanced profitability.

The U.S. soup business is still the keystone to Campbell Soup and in Q2, the numbers retreated. If they cannot make these numbers march forward, investors will be looking at disappointing results.
