    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.

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.
