UK CMA gives Unilever and McCormick until 18 Nov to propose remedies for food‑business merger
The Competition and Markets Authority issued a Phase 1 decision on the Unilever food‑business sale to McCormick, saying the transaction could substantially lessen competition in dry ingredient mixes and sauces. The regulator gave the companies until 18 Nov to offer undertakings; otherwise a Phase 2 in‑depth investigation will follow. Unilever and McCormick said they are working on remedies, including the sale of Colman’s mustard.
