Unilever cut the mustard

The news that regulatory approval had been given to the conglomerate Reckitt Benckiser (of which Reckitt & Colman was once a major component) selling its remaining food businesses to McCormick caused me to check whether Colman's Mustard was part of the sale. McCormick is the US firm best known over here for its ownership of Schwartz herbs & spices. Fortunately the long-established British brand stayed in (part) British hands because Unilever had bought all the Colman's side of the business in 1995.
