  • Unilever Shifts Focus to Beauty and Wellness, Merges Foods Unit with McCormick
    April 11, 2026, 2:05 AM EDT. Unilever is restructuring by merging its Foods business, including Knorr and Hellmann's, with McCormick to form a global flavour group. The move signals a strategic pivot towards beauty, wellbeing, personal care, and home care as core areas. Unilever also acquired the US supplements brand Grüns to boost its health and wellness portfolio. Shares in Unilever (LSE:ULVR) show modest gains recently amid larger declines over the past year. The deal values the Foods unit at a 3.6x EV/Sales multiple. Proceeds from the transaction will fund debt reduction and a €6 billion share buyback between 2026-2029. Investors face a shift from a diversified pantry portfolio to a concentrated premium consumer business and a continued stake in a competitive global flavour group. Execution and market valuation remain key concerns as Unilever sharpens its focus.
