McCormick & Company unveiled 40 new products to help home cooks prepare fall and holiday meals. Gourmet flavors inspired by Japanese and Korean cuisines, blends packed with ingredients like chia and matcha, and food color made from plants and seeds are just some of the products that will appear on store shelves this autumn.

"McCormick is launching a range of purely delicious, quality products people can feel good about -- whether they're making tacos with an organic recipe mix made from natural herbs and spices or adding gingerbread spice to waffle batter on Christmas morning."
