McCormick is making several important changes to its portfolio over the next 12 months. The company announced that 80% of its Gourmet herbs & spices business in the U.S. will be Organic and Non-GMO by 2016. Additionally over 70% of all McCormick branded herbs, spices and extracts in the U.S. will be labeled Non-GMO.
According to one estimate, McCormick gave away about $550,000 of his $10 million fortune, of which about $450,000 went to enterprises associated with the Presbyterian church. McCormick's tremendous success as an inventor and entrepreneur was due in large part to his personality and his philosophy of life.
