Morton Salt is an American tradition, with roots dating back to 1848. Since then, based on consistent excellence that has passed the test of time, the company has established itself as the trusted authority on salt.

In 1911, Morton was the first to introduce magnesium carbonate (an anti-caking agent) to salt, creating a table salt that flows freely even in humid weather. Shortly thereafter, one of the most recognizable icons, the Morton Umbrella Girl and the slogan, “When It Rains It Pours” is created. Product innovation coupled with advertising innovation created a little girl and her slogan to communicate in a cute, but effective way, the fact that Morton salt would flow freely in damp weather.

Throughout Morton’s history, innovation has remained a key area for new product development. In 1924, Morton produced the first iodized table salt to help prevent goiters which was a wide spread health problem in the U.S. at that time. In the early 50’s, a high-quality salt product (Morton Pellets) for the recharging of home water softeners was introduced. Keeping abreast of consumer health and diet trends resulted in the development of two new salt products in the 1970’s. Morton Salt Substitute was created for those consumers on a doctor-recommended sodium restricted diet and Morton Lite Salt™ Mixture was created for those consumers interested in lowering their sodium intake.

Continuing the commitment to water quality improvement, the Morton System Saver salt formula is introduced in 1984. System Saver significantly improves water softener performance.

Morton’s innovation continues with products such as French Fry Salt and its rapidly dissolving crystal which delivers a faster taste sensation. Portion-Control Packets offer the highest quality salt and pepper in convenient, single-servings.
