Montreal Steak Spice Seasoning Celebrates 20 Years In Canada

LONDON, ONTARIO – With as many as one-fifth of the population barbecuing year
round and two-thirds owning a barbecue or outdoor grill, Canadians obviously
love to barbecue.

McCormick Canada’s popular La Grille Montreal Steak Spice seasoning has been a
big part of that Canadian cooking tradition for the past 20 years.

La Grille’s cornerstone product, Montreal Steak spice seasoning, was launched in
1990 after the company’s product development team visited a Montreal eatery.
This kitchen staple is now the number one selling spice in Canada (Nielsen
MarketTrack).

“Starting with Montreal Steak spice, the La Grille brand has grown over the past
20 years into a popular spice collection that has a wide range of seasoning
options providing an easy way to add bold flavour to beef, pork, fish and
poultry,” says John Szustaczek, senior product manager at McCormick Canada. “La
Grille is not just for beef, poultry and fish however, but can also add a
flavourful boost to vegetables, potatoes, rice, pasta and eggs.”

Since 2001, the La Grille brand has been nominated as a finalist four times in
the Canadian Council of Grocery Distributors Grand Prix, and based on consumer
votes, won the 2010 BrandSpark International “best new product” award in the
seasonings/sauces category.

“The La Grille brand continues to grow as does our love of barbecuing,” notes
Szustaczek. In 2009, 28 per cent of Canadians barbecued at least once in an
average week (NPD National Eating Trends), up from 20 per cent the year before.

La Grille seasonings offer a wide range of flavouring options, including
shake-on seasonings and 30-minute wet marinades and grinders, for guaranteed
barbecuing success. The brand also has four no-salt added seasonings, including
Steak, Chicken, Lemon & Herb and Vegetable.
