Re: Opinion As To Georgia Subsidiary Guarantor in Exchange Offering

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as special counsel to Craig Protein Division, Inc., a Georgia corporation (the “Georgia Guarantor”) in connection with the preparation and filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, of a Registration Statement on Form S-4 (as amended, the “Registration Statement”), with respect to $500,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 5.375% Senior Notes due 2022 (the “Exchange Notes”) of Darling International, Inc. (the “Company”). The Exchange Notes will be offered in exchange for like principal amount of the Company’s outstanding unregistered 5.375% Senior Notes due 2022 (the “Restricted Notes”) pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of January 2, 2014 (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), by and among the Company, certain guarantors as affiliates of the Company (the “Subsidiary Guarantors”) and Goldman, Sachs & Co. and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, as representatives of the several initial purchasers named therein. The Registration Rights Agreement was executed in connection with the private placement of the Restricted Notes. The Restricted Notes were, and the Exchange Notes will be, issued pursuant to the Indenture, dated as of January 2, 2014 (including the Supplemental Indentures dated January 8, 2014 and April 4, 2014 and all additional amendments or supplements thereto, the “Indenture”), among the Company, the Subsidiary Guarantors and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”). The Exchange Notes will be unconditionally guaranteed on a senior basis by the Georgia Guarantor (the “Georgia Guarantee”) (and the other Subsidiary Guarantors) pursuant to guarantees contained in the Indenture.

In so acting, we have examined originals or copies (certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction) of (i) the Registration Statement; (ii) the prospectus, which forms a part of the Registration Statement; (iii) the Indenture; (iv) the Registration Rights Agreement; and (v) such corporate records, agreements, documents and other instruments, and such certificates or comparable documents of public officials and of officers and representatives of the Georgia Guarantor or the Company, and have made such inquiries of such officers and representatives, as we have deemed relevant and necessary as a basis for the opinion hereinafter set forth.
