Spice blends are now being specially mixed with the help of artificial intelligence (AI), making them quicker to create and more consistent in their flavour profiles.
McCormick Spices has spent four years crunching data collected over four decades to fine tune its machine learning programme.
Now, AI has come up with a selection of new spice mixes including Tuscan Chicken, Bourbon Pork Tenderloin and New Orleans Sausage.
The company sells such blends to the public, as well as developing new flavours for the food industry.
Dr Hamed Faridi, chief science officer at McCormick Spices, told the BBC: "It takes an experienced product developer about 10 to 15 years to become highly trained in what they do, so it makes business sense to develop a system that means every person is as good as the best person we have."
He added that this method of deciding on new blends can cut the time it takes to complete the process by as much as 70 per cent.
