Heart disease continues to be the leading cause of death in women across America, and according to the American Heart Association®, a healthy diet and lifestyle are the best weapons in the fight against it. This February for American Heart Month Campbell Soup Company (NYSE: CPB) and Ellie Krieger, registered dietitian and host of the Food Network’s hit show “Healthy Appetite,” have joined forces to empower women to embrace a heart-healthy lifestyle. Campbell offers a variety of delicious and easy-to-make heart-healthy products and recipes and with the help of Ellie Krieger, will equip women with essential tips and tools to kick start or maintain their journey to a healthy heart.

Campbell, in partnership with the American Heart Association® and the Go Red for Women movement, is committed to women’s health with a portfolio of products and recipes featuring the American Heart Association® Heart-Check mark. This year Campbell is adding a new product to its portfolio of nearly 230 heart-healthy products, new Healthy Request Mexican-Style Chicken Tortilla soup. Additionally, Campbell has a collection of heart healthy recipes certified by the American Heart Association® found on CampbellsKitchen.com.

"We are proud of the strides we have made in the last nine years to support women in the fight against heart disease,” said Denise Morrison, President and CEO of Campbell Soup Company. “As part of our Purpose: Real Food that Matters for Life's Moments, we are dedicated to the health and well-being of the women and families that rely on our foods because we believe that we have a fundamental responsibility to help them thrive.”

“My philosophy on a heart-healthy lifestyle is simple: educate yourself on nutrition, choose flavorful healthy foods, and get more physically active,” said Ellie Krieger. “Partnering with Campbell is a great opportunity to share tips and recipes with women because I believe simple lifestyle changes can help them combat heart disease.”
