Colman's Mustard is the MK DONS of mustard

Therefore I hereby command a unilateral Colman's Mustard boycott of this multi-national pillager of Norfolk Mustard makers whose tradition dates back to 1814, a mere nine years after the Battle of Trafalgar.

In 2019 the Colman’s factory in Norwich rolled its last jar of mustard off the production line and its Use By Date was changed for the occasion to:

"Norwich's Last. By Its Finest. July 24th 2019"

Colman’s continued making other condiments at the Carrow site until closing its doors in early 2020.

The Colman family's pioneering achievements in social welfare are part of Norwich's history. In 1857 a school was opened for the employees' children, while in 1864 the firm employed a nurse to help sick members of staff—a social revolution at the time.

From 1896 Sir Jeremiah Colman became chairman. In 1903, the firm took over rival mustard maker Keen Robinson & Company, through which it also acquired the Robinsons barley water and baby food business. The purpose of the acquisition was to reduce competition within the mustard business.

By 1909 the company employed 2,300 people.

Together with Reckitt, the company acquired French's, the American mustard manufacturer, in 1926 for £750,000

From 1997 to 2001, Colman's were the main sponsors of Norwich City Football Club.

Colman's Mustard is dead to me.
