Ladies and Gentlemen:

In my capacity as Vice President, Deputy General Counsel and Corporate Secretary of Campbell Soup Company, a New Jersey corporation (the “Company”), I am furnishing this opinion in connection with the filing by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) of a Registration Statement on Form S-3 (as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time, the “Registration Statement”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), with respect to the contemplated issuance from time to time of the following securities: (i) senior debt securities of the Company (the “Senior Debt Securities”), which may be issued pursuant to an Indenture dated March 19, 2015, as supplemented from time to time, between the Company and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee (as so supplemented, the “Senior Indenture”), and (ii) subordinated debt securities of the Company (the “Subordinated Debt Securities” and, together with the Senior Debt Securities, the “Debt Securities”), which may be issued pursuant to a Subordinated Indenture to be entered into by the Company and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee (the “Subordinated Indenture” and, together with the Senior Indenture, the “Indentures”). The Debt Securities being registered will be offered on a continuous or delayed basis pursuant to the provisions of Rule 415 under the Securities Act.

In so acting, I or other members of the legal department of the Company have examined originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified to my satisfaction, of the Registration Statement and such corporate records, agreements, documents and other instruments, and such certificates or comparable documents of public officials and of officers and representatives of the Company as I or they have deemed relevant and necessary as a basis for the opinion hereinafter set forth. I or they have also made such inquiries of such officers and representatives as I have deemed relevant and necessary as a basis for the opinions hereinafter set forth.

In rendering this opinion, I have assumed, without inquiry, the legal capacity of all natural persons, the genuineness of all signatures, the authenticity of all documents submitted to me as originals, the conformity to the original documents of documents submitted to me as facsimile, electronic, certified or photostatic copies, and the authenticity of the originals of such copies.

In making my examination of executed documents or documents to be executed, I have assumed that the parties thereto, other than the Company, had or will have the power, corporate or other, to enter into and perform all obligations thereunder and I have also assumed the due authorization by all requisite action, corporate or other, and execution and delivery by such parties of such documents and the validity and binding effect on such parties. In addition, I have assumed (i) a definitive underwriting or similar agreement with respect to any Debt Securities will have been duly authorized and validly executed and delivered by the Company and the other parties thereto; (ii) the Registration Statement and any amendments thereto (including any post-effective amendments) will have become effective and comply with all applicable laws at the time the Debt Securities are offered or issued as contemplated by the Registration Statement and no stop order suspending its effectiveness will have been issued and remain in effect; (iii) that all Debt Securities will be issued and sold in compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws and in the manner stated in the Registration Statement and the applicable prospectus supplement; (iv) that a prospectus supplement or term sheet will have been prepared and filed with the Commission describing the Debt Securities offered thereby and will comply at all relevant times with all applicable laws; (v) the applicable Indenture or Indentures and indenture trustees will have been duly qualified under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended; (vi) that the Company will continue to be validly existing under the laws of New Jersey; and (vii) the Company will have obtained any legally required consents, approvals, authorizations and other orders of the Commission and any other regulatory authorities necessary (x) to issue and sell the Debt Securities being offered and (y) to execute and deliver the applicable Indenture or other applicable operative document. As to any facts material to the opinions expressed herein that I have not independently established or verified, I have relied upon, and assumed the accuracy of, statements and representations of officers and other representatives of the Company and others.
