We have acted as special Ohio counsel for The J. M. Smucker Company (the “Company”) in connection with the preparation and filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) of a prospectus supplement, dated October 11, 2023, and filed with the Commission on October 13, 2023 pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2) of the Securities Act (the “Prospectus Supplement”), and the offering by the Company pursuant thereto of (i) $750,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 5.900% Notes due 2028 (the “2028 Notes”), (ii) $1,000,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 6.200% Notes due 2033 (the “2033 Notes”), (iii) $750,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 6.500% Notes due 2043 (the “2043 Notes”) and (iv) $1,000,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 6.500% Notes due 2053 (the “2053 Notes” and, together with the 2028 Notes, the 2033 Notes and the 2043 Notes, the “Notes”), in accordance with the terms of the Underwriting Agreement, dated October 11, 2023 (the “Underwriting Agreement”), among the Company, BofA Securities, Inc. and J. P. Morgan Securities LLC, as representatives of the several underwriters named therein. In connection therewith, we have examined the registration statement on Form S-3, File No. 333-274747 (the “Registration Statement”), filed under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and the prospectus included therein. The Notes will be issued pursuant to the indenture, dated as of March 20, 2015, between the Company and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as successor to U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”), as supplemented by the Fifth Supplemental Indenture, to be dated October 25, 2023, by and between the Company and the Trustee (together, the “Indenture”).

Certain terms of the Notes were approved by the Board of Directors of the Company or certain authorized officers of the Company as part of the corporate action taken (the “Corporate Proceedings”) in connection with the issuance of the Notes. We have examined or are otherwise familiar with the Articles of Incorporation, as amended, of the Company, the Regulations, as amended, of the Company, the Registration Statement, the Prospectus Supplement, the Underwriting Agreement, the Indenture, the Corporate Proceedings, and such other documents, records and instruments as we have deemed necessary or appropriate for the purposes of this opinion. In such review, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the legal capacity of natural persons, the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as copies (whether or not certified and including facsimiles) and the authenticity of such latter documents and of all documents submitted to us as originals. We have not examined the Notes, except specimens thereof.
