McCormick replaces EY with KPMG ahead of planned Unilever foods deal
Filed with the SEC on · Summarized by InvestorsBot
McCormick’s audit committee dismissed Ernst & Young on September 24, 2026, because EY is expected to lose SEC independence after McCormick’s planned acquisition of Unilever’s foods business; the change takes effect when McCormick files its fiscal 2026 Form 10-K. McCormick approved KPMG as its new auditor for the fiscal year ending November 30, 2027, subject to standard acceptance procedures and an engagement letter, and reported no disagreements or reportable events with EY.
