Since June, McCormick teams across the world have been giving back to the communities where we live, work, and operate as part of our 135 Days of Giving campaign. The campaign celebrates our 135th anniversary and honors the legacy of our founder, Willoughby McCormick, who believed in the power of giving to support those in need.

At McCormick & Company, we recognize the evolving taste preferences of today’s consumer, particularly among Gen Z. In this recent article from CNBC, McCormick Executive Chef Hadar Cohen Aviram highlights the “swicy” trend—a combination of sweet and spicy flavors—that is increasingly featured on restaurant menus. McCormick first predicted this reemerging trend in our 2022 Flavor Forecast report when sweetness paired with heat acts as a flavor enhancer in addition to the spiciness.

India has a rich history of cultivating some of the world’s most beloved spices that can be traced back nearly 3,000 years. To help the farming communities continue this spice tradition for years to come, McCormick is partnering with other organizations to support sustainable spice production in six Indian states as part of our Grown for Good sustainability initiatives. Read more about one of our projects to help Indian farmers make production practices more economically, socially, and environmentally sustainable. https://ow.ly/ngqq50TNQZ6

On #WorldFoodDay, as the global leader in flavor, McCormick embraces our responsibility to support everyone’s right to healthy, sustainable, and delicious food. That includes improving the livelihoods of our farmers in our sourcing communities to mitigate food insecurity by providing opportunities to access additional food and income sources. Our employees volunteer at organizations that fight food insecurity, including throughout our 135 Days of Giving campaign this year, where teams around the world packed food boxes, delivered meals, and worked with organizations to deliver fresh fruits and vegetables to those in need. We also believe flavor can help people make healthy food choices. Through the McCormick Science Institute, we fund research into the health-enhancing properties of culinary herbs and spices, in areas with the potential to impact public health.

Meet Miranda Morales, Supply Chain Rotational Analyst, who at 23 is embracing the opportunities that come her way. Miranda is gaining hands-on experience in McCormick’s three-year Rotational Program, which exposes people early in their careers to different functional areas in McCormick’s supply chain operations. She joined the program after earning her degree in chemical engineering, a field that has historically been dominated by men. “It’s not easy being a woman in engineering. It requires you to have confidence in your voice and abilities. I was successful because I’ve always excelled at math and chemistry, but also because I’m a strong woman, just like my mother.” Miranda lost her mother to cancer when she was 14. Miranda is also bilingual, which helps her make connections with many people working in McCormick’s manufacturing facilities who speak Spanish.
