French's Mustard

French's brand has been a staple of the culinary world since its debut at the St. Louis World's Fair in 1904. Originally created by the French brothers, George and Francis, it became synonymous with American yellow mustard. Despite its name, the brand is distinctly American in its inception, characterized by its mild flavor and bright yellow color derived from turmeric.

Over the decades, the brand has expanded its product line to include fried onions, ketchup, and various sauces. The manufacturing process primarily takes place in Springfield, Missouri, though regional facilities in Canada handle production for their respective domestic markets to ensure freshness and reduce logistics costs.

In 2017, the brand underwent a significant ownership shift when it was acquired by McCormick & Company from Reckitt Benckiser. This acquisition integrated French's into a portfolio dedicated specifically to flavors and spices, solidifying its position as a market leader in the condiments category under the stewardship of one of the world's largest spice manufacturers.
