A man posing as the CEO of a major food company temporarily fooled Fox Business host Maria Bartiromo. The network issued a correction later in its program.

“The statements that were aired are absolutely and completely false,” Keira Lombardo, chief administrative officer for the company, said in a statement. “Smithfield is a recognized leader in animal wellbeing and care, in stewardship of the environment and in workplace safety. Smithfield employs veterinarians and other experts across the company who ensure that the safety, comfort and health of farm animals is comprehensive.

“We have an important correction to make. It appears we have been punk’d,” Bartiromo said, acknowledging that the guest was an imposter. “We want to apologize to Dennis Organ, Smithfield Foods and to our audience for making this mistake. We will of course be more vigilant.”In an interview Thursday, Johnson said he had intended to announce falsely that the company would transition out of animal agriculture to offering only plant-based foods.
