McCormick Canada

McCormick & Company, Inc. is a US public company headquartered in Hunt Valley, Maryland and listed on the NYSE. Its 2026 proxy shows no controlling shareholder: the McCormick 401(k) Retirement Plan holds 12.2% of voting Common Stock and outgoing CEO Lawrence Kurzius holds 11.8-12.4%, both under the diffuse-control threshold. La Cie McCormick Canada Co. and The French's Food Co., Inc. are confirmed wholly-owned subsidiaries of McCormick & Company in the company's own Canada Act filing.

Club House spices and seasonings, McCormick Canada's largest shelf presence, and French's ketchup are made at the London, Ontario head office and plant, confirmed by the company's own filing header ("London Head Office & Manufacturing") and corroborated by Made in CA's Canadian-tomato ketchup listing. French's mustard, Frank's RedHot and Cattlemen's have no confirmed Canadian manufacturing site and are assumed to come from McCormick's US plants; this split is a prominence-weighted estimate, not a published figure.

McCormick Canada's roughly 700 employees are based at its London, Ontario head office, per its 2023-2024 Forced Labour Canada Act filing. No other Canadian office or facility is disclosed; a passing mention of an upgraded "Mississauga HQ" on the corporate site appears to be a secondary Canadian office and does not change the country mix.

• McCormick Canada Forced and Child Labour Statement for the Canadian Act 2023 filing “In Canada, McCormick employs approximately 700 employees and our Canadian head office is located in London, Ontario.”

McCormick's own Canada Act filing lists ingredients sourced from Brazil, Canada, China, India, Indonesia, Madagascar, Mexico, Turkey, the US and Vietnam, with pepper and other spices generally sourced outside North America and dairy and onion primarily sourced locally in Canada. Billy Bee honey is 100% Canadian-sourced from Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba beekeepers, and French's ketchup uses Canadian tomatoes, but the core spice business (pepper, vanilla, capsicums) that gives McCormick Canada its name is dominated by imported OTHER-bucket ingredients. The proportional split is an estimate; no per-ingredient volumes are published.

• McCormick Canada Forced and Child Labour Statement for the Canadian Act 2023 filing “McCormick ingredients are sourced from a variety of locations, including Brazil, Canada, China, India, Indonesia, Madagascar, Mexico, Turkey, United States, and Vietnam.”
