Nice article which mentions Mccormick in the UK's Investors' Chronicle.

It came to their notice because of a screen they did for companies with a great track record who didn't grievously overpay their CEO and other executives:

"There can be few households in this country who do not have a jar or packet of McCormick herbs or spices lurking in their kitchens. It's the number one in its sector in the USA, Canada, the UK, France, and Spain and its market shares are huge - 40 per cent going on 50 per cent. In these countries, you could characterise McCormick as levying a tiny and unnoticed tax on eating. It has paid a dividend every year since 1925 and has increased it for each of the last 25 years. Compared with Apple or Amazon, it's a plodder. But in stamina terms, its an Olympian."
