On September 24, 2026, McCormick & Company dismissed Ernst & Young LLP as its independent auditor because EY will lose independence following the anticipated closing of a transaction with Unilever to acquire Unilever's foods business. The dismissal becomes effective upon filing the 10-K for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2026. McCormick engaged KPMG LLP as its new auditor for the fiscal year ending November 30, 2027, subject to standard acceptance procedures. There were no disagreements with EY and no reportable events during the relevant periods. McCormick & Company Inc operates in the food seasoning and flavoring industry.
