McCormick

Major spice company

McCormick is an American spice company, the world's largest, whose name has become nearly synonymous with grocery store seasonings.

The distinctive red-capped bottles are ubiquitous in American kitchens: The spice rack was all McCormick.

As a surname, McCormick is Irish in origin, meaning "son of Cormac." Cyrus McCormick invented the mechanical reaper in the 1830s, revolutionizing agriculture.
