Re: $500,000,000 3.200% Senior Notes due 2026

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We refer to the Registration Statement on Form S-3, File No. 333-213597 (the “Registration Statement”), filed by Ingredion Incorporated, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), which Registration Statement became effective upon filing pursuant to Rule 462(e) under the Securities Act. Pursuant to the Registration Statement, the Company is issuing $500,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 3.200% Senior Notes due 2026 (the “Securities”). The Securities are being issued under an Indenture dated as of August 18, 1999, as amended and supplemented, including by the Ninth Supplemental Indenture dated as of September 22, 2016 (as so amended and supplemented, the “Indenture”), each between the Company (formerly known as Corn Products International, Inc.) and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A. (as successor to The Bank of New York), as Trustee (the “Trustee”). The Securities are to be sold by the Company pursuant to an underwriting agreement dated September 15, 2016 (the “Underwriting Agreement”), among the Company and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC and Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated, as representatives of the several underwriters named in Schedule I to the Underwriting Agreement.

This opinion letter is being delivered in accordance with the requirements of Item 601(b)(5) of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act.

We have examined the Registration Statement, the Indenture, the Underwriting Agreement, the Securities in global form and the resolutions adopted by the board of directors of the Company and the pricing committee established by such board relating to the Registration Statement, the Indenture, the Underwriting Agreement and the issuance of the Securities by the Company.
