Consumers are interested not only in great taste, but healthy eating. With a foundation in spices and herbs, we are well-positioned to meet this interest. Spices and herbs are naturally low in calories and many are high in antioxidants. Through the McCormick Science Institute, we are funding studies to learn more about the health aspects of spices.

We offer more than 300 salt-free consumer products in the United States. In 2010, we extended these offerings with our launch of Perfect Pinch® seasoning blends, which includes several salt-free varieties. About one-third of our product development work for industrial customers currently has some connection to health—either lower salt, reduced sugar, higher antioxidants or more natural ingredients.

In the workplace, McCormick employees benefit from a Company wellness initiative which includes programs for exercise, managing stress and smoking cessation.

We believe the interest in healthy living among consumers, customers and our own employees will continue to grow.
