Unilever-McCormick Deal Faces Deeper UK Antitrust Probe

Unilever Plc and McCormick & Co.'s $44.8 billion deal faces an in-depth UK antitrust investigation unless the firms offer remedies to address the watchdog's competition concerns. The probe could delay or block the merger if regulators find it would harm market competition. The companies must now propose concessions to avoid a lengthy review process.
