Unilever PLC will sell the Colman's mustard brand to proactively address potential competition concerns. The divestment aims to smooth the regulatory path for the pending merger of its food business with McCormick & Co. This sale reshapes the portfolio as Unilever combines food assets like Hellmann's and Knorr with McCormick.
Unilever’s Home Care division reported a 7.6% increase in underlying sales for the first half of 2026. A 7.4% rise in volume primarily drove the unit's performance. The company credits a strategy focused on premium products and innovation for creating new consumer demand. The division has now recorded five consecutive quarters of accelerating growth.
