The Class is made up of anyone who purchased certain McCormick products labeled as “natural” or “all natural” between Jan. 1, 2013, and Sept. 23, 2021.

A complete list of covered products is available on the settlement website.

Plaintiffs in a 2016 class action lawsuit alleged McCormick deceptively labeled the products as being “natural” in an effort to increase prices as demand for natural products went up, taking advantage of consumers.

McCormick makes a variety of popular products, such as spices, recipe mixes, extracts, and food colorings.

The company has denied all allegations of wrongdoing, and the Court has not ruled in favor of either side in this case.

After attorneys’ fees and other expenses are deducted from the $3 million McCormick all-natural products settlement fund, money will be distributed to Class Members.

Class Members who submit a valid claim form and provide proof of purchase will be eligible to receive $1 for each covered product they purchased. There is no limit on the number of products they can claim.

Without proof of purchase, Class Members may submit a claim and be eligible to receive $1 for each product purchased up to a maximum of 15.

The final payment amounts may be adjusted up or down proportionately depending on the number of valid claims filed.

A final hearing in the McCormick all-natural products settlement is scheduled to take place Jan. 11, 2022.

The deadline for Class Members to exclude themselves from or object to the settlement is Dec. 21, 2021.

Claims must be submitted no later than 90 days after the settlement receives final approval.
