How it's made
US-manufactured, mostly imported materials
OLD BAY Seasoning was born in 1940 when German-Jewish refugee Gustav Brunn founded the Baltimore Spice Company and created a proprietary blend of 18 herbs and spices — named after the Old Bay Line steamship that sailed Chesapeake Bay — which became the defining flavor of Mid-Atlantic seafood culture. Today manufactured by McCormick & Company at their Hunt Valley, Maryland facility, the secret blend of celery salt, red and black pepper, paprika, and 15 additional spices is Non-GMO Project Verified, gluten-free, Kosher, and contains no added MSG. Essential for crab boils, crab cakes, shrimp, and seafood dips, OLD BAY has earned its place on nearly every table from the Chesapeake Bay to the Gulf Coast and beyond.
Why the USAmade Score™ is 5/10
OLD BAY is blended and packaged at McCormick's Hunt Valley, Maryland facility — confirmed US manufacturing. However, the 18 herbs and spices in OLD BAY are virtually all globally sourced agricultural commodities: paprika (Hungary/Spain), black pepper (India/Vietnam), celery seed (India/Egypt), bay leaves (Turkey), cardamom (Guatemala), and mace/nutmeg (Indonesia).
