Marmite will fall into American hands after its owner agreed to a $66bn (£50bn) deal with a US food giant. The brand, known for its love-it-or-hate-it slogan, is one of several supermarket staples being sold by Unilever to Baltimore-based spice and sauce maker McCormick. Also included in the deal are Hellmann's mayonnaise, Knorr stock cubes, Bovril, Colman's mustard and Pot Noodle. These will also be combined with McCormick, which currently owns French's mustard and Schwartz herbs. Fernando Fernández, the boss of Unilever, said the deal would create a “global flavour powerhouse”. Marmite was founded in Burton-on-Trent in 1902, utilising leftover yeast from a local brewery, while Colman's started in Norwich in 1814 and is still made from mustard seeds grown in the area.
