Old Bay Returns to Classic Tin Packaging This Month

McCormick frames the change as a tribute to the brand's Baltimore roots.

Overview

  • McCormick announced the packaging change on Dec. 1 and said tins will reach stores this month.
  • The shift reverses Old Bay's 2017 move from metal containers to plastic.
  • A "This Just Tin" sweepstakes with the Baltimore Ravens runs Dec. 1–14 with crossover prize packs.
  • An invite-only launch takes place Dec. 4 in collaboration with Jimmy's Famous Seafood.
  • The seasoning keeps its yellow-and-blue look, and a common 6-ounce tin typically sells for about $5.
