PART I


ITEM 1. BUSINESS

THE COMPANY

Campbell Soup Company, together with its consolidated subsidiaries, is a global
manufacturer and marketer of high quality, branded convenience food products.
Campbell was incorporated as a business corporation under the laws of New
Jersey on November 23, 1922; however, through predecessor organizations, it
traces its heritage in the food business back to 1869.

During 1996, the company acquired the "Homepride" cooking sauce business, the
United Kingdom's leading cooking sauce brand, and a controlling interest in the
"Cheong Chan" sauce business in Asia. The company also completed the purchase
of a 50% interest in the Indonesian biscuit and snack manufacturer, PT Helios
Arnotts Indonesia, and increased its shares in Arnotts Limited, Australia's
leading biscuit manufacturer, to 70%.

The company divested its Mrs. Paul's frozen seafood business, ripe and Spanish
olive businesses and Campbell's Groko B.V., a Dutch frozen vegetable processing
business.

PRODUCTS

The company considers itself to be engaged in a single industry segment, the
manufacture of prepared convenience foods. The principal products of the
company are soups marketed under the "Campbell's" name, bakery, biscuit and
confectionery products, juices, frozen foods, sauces, condiments and other
convenience food products.

INGREDIENTS

Most ingredients required for the manufacture of the company's food products
are purchased from others, except for mushrooms, poultry and beef.
Swift-Armour Sociedad Anonima Argentina, an Argentine corporation and a
wholly-owned subsidiary, has been the principal supplier of cooked beef to the
company.

In general, satisfactory sources of supply of ingredients are available.
Ingredient inventories are at a peak during the late fall and decline during
the winter and spring. Since many ingredients of suitable quality are
available in sufficient quantities only at certain seasons, the company makes
heavy purchases of such ingredients during their respective seasons. As a
result of factors not within the company's control, the prices of ingredients
fluctuate significantly from time to time.

CUSTOMERS

In the United States, sales solicitation activities are conducted by the
company's own sales force and through broker and distributor arrangements. The
company's products are generally resold to consumers in retail stores,
restaurants and other food service establishments. No material part of the





-2-
3
business is dependent upon a single customer. Shipments are made promptly by
the company after receipt and acceptance of orders.

TRADEMARKS AND TECHNOLOGY

The company markets its food products globally under a number of significant
trademarks. The company considers such trademarks, taken as a whole, to be of
material importance to its business and, consequently, aggressively seeks to
protect its rights in them.

Although the company owns a number of valuable patents, its business is not
dependent upon any single patent or any group of related patents.

COMPETITION

The company experiences vigorous competition for sales of its principal
products in its major markets, both within the United States and abroad, from
numerous competitors of varying sizes. The principal areas of competition are
quality, price, advertising, promotion and service.

WORKING CAPITAL

For information relating to the company's cash and other working capital items
see pages 18 through 20 of the company's Annual Report to Shareowners for the
fiscal year ended July 28, 1996 ("1996 Annual Report") in the section entitled
"Management's Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial
Condition", which are incorporated herein by reference.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

During the last three fiscal years, the company's expenditures on research
activities relating to new products and the improvement of existing products
were approximately $84 million in 1996, $88 million in 1995, and $78 million in
1994. The company conducts this research at the Campbell Institute for
Research and Technology at the company's headquarters in Camden, New Jersey,
and in other locations in the United States and foreign countries.

ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS

The company has programs for the operation and design of its facilities which
meet or exceed applicable environmental rules and regulations. The company's
expenditures for capital improvements during fiscal 1996 were approximately
$416 million, of which, according to company estimates, approximately $3
million was for compliance with environmental laws and regulations in the
United States. The company believes that continued compliance with existing
environmental laws and regulations will not have a material effect on capital
expenditures, earnings or the competitive position of the company.





-3-
4
EMPLOYEES

At July 28, 1996, there were approximately 40,650 persons employed by the
company.

FOREIGN OPERATIONS

For information with respect to the revenue, operating profitability and
identifiable assets attributable to the company's foreign operations, see page
25 of the 1996 Annual Report in the section of the Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements entitled "Geographic Area Information", which is
incorporated herein by reference.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

For information with respect to the revenue, operating profit and identifiable
assets for the company's only industry segment, see page 25 of the 1996 Annual
Report in the section of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
entitled "Geographic Area Information", which is incorporated herein by
reference.

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

On September 4, 1996, the company's Board of Directors authorized a capital
stock repurchase program of up to $2.5 billion for repurchases through the end
of fiscal 1999. As part of the repurchase program, the company announced the
commencement on September 12, 1996, of a "Dutch auction" tender offer for up to
18,000,000 shares of its capital stock. Final results of the tender offer will
be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission no later than ten business
days after the expiration date of the offer.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT ON FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

From time to time, the company makes oral and written statements that may
constitute "forward-looking statements" as defined in the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (the "Act") or by the SEC in its rules,
regulations and releases. The company desires to take advantage of the "safe
harbor" provisions in the Act for forward-looking statements made from time to
time, including, but not limited to, the forward-looking statements relating to
the strategic growth plan contained in the Chairman's Letter to Shareowners
(pages 1 to 3 of the 1996 Annual Report), the Strategies review (pages 4 to 16
of the 1996 Annual Report), Management's Discussion and Analysis (pages 18 to
20 of the 1996 Annual Report) and other statements made in this Form 10-K and
in other filings with the SEC.

The company cautions readers that any such forward-looking statements made by
or on behalf of the company are based on management's current expectations and
beliefs but are not guarantees of future performance. Actual results could
differ materially from those expressed or implied in the forward-looking
statements. Among the factors that could impact on the company's ability to
achieve its strategic growth plan goals are:

* the impact of strong competitive response to the company's efforts to
leverage its brand power with product innovation and new advertising;

* the inherent risks in the marketplace associated with new product
introductions, including uncertainties about trade and consumer acceptance;

* the continuation of the company's successful record of integrating
acquisitions into its existing operations and the availability of new
acquisition and alliance opportunities that build shareowner wealth;




-4-
5
* the company's ability to achieve the gains in productivity and
improvements in capacity utilization that it anticipates from its cost
productivity, consolidation and restructuring program; and

* the impact of unforeseen economic and political changes in the
international markets where the company competes such as currency exchange
rates, inflation rates, recession, foreign ownership restrictions and other
external factors over which the Company has no control.


ITEM 2. PROPERTIES

Manufacturing facilities of the company in the United States include seven
thermal processing plants located in California, Georgia, Michigan, Minnesota,
North Carolina, Ohio and Texas. Other of the company's convenience foods are
also manufactured in the United States at various plant locations.

Outside the U.S., the company has manufacturing and distribution facilities in
Argentina, Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Chile, England, France, Germany,
Hong Kong, Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia, Mexico, the Netherlands, New Zealand,
Papua New Guinea and Scotland.

The company's operations also include can-making facilities, mushroom farms and
tomato, poultry, beef, pasta and spice processing facilities.

The company also operates retail confectionery shops in the United States,
Canada and Europe; retail bakery thrift stores in the United States; a mail
order facility; and other plants and facilities at various locations in the
United States and abroad. Management believes that the company's manufacturing
and processing plants are well maintained and are generally adequate to support
the current operations of the business.


ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

There have been no material developments in the legal proceedings as reported
in Campbell's Form 10-Q for the quarter ended October 29, 1995. The company is
not a party to any pending legal proceeding which, if decided adversely, would
have a material effect on the financial condition of the company and its
subsidiaries taken as a whole.

ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS
