Campbell Soup's quarterly sales fall 1.4 pct

Feb 17 (Reuters) - Campbell Soup Co reported a 1.4 percent fall in quarterly revenue on Friday, hurt by weak demand for its V8 beverages, broth and condensed soups.

Net income attributable to Campbell fell to $101 million, or 33 cents per share, in the second quarter ended Jan. 29, from $265 million, or 85 cents per share, a year earlier.

Net sales of the world's largest soupmaker, which also sells Pepperidge Farm snacks and Prego pasta sauce, fell to $2.17 billion from $2.20 billion.
