4 Overview What is the extent of the increase? Garlic: +25% Vanilla: +100% Effective on February 15 th, 2017 Why is B&G taking a price increase? Raw materials costs have risen substantially since our last pricing. Spices are truly a global product, sourced from over 25 countries around the world with each subject to local and worldwide market pressures. Costing of each spice is impacted by factors such as currency exchange, weather, freight costs, worldwide supply/demand, as well as political and economical issues. We have used purchasing strategies, internal cost reduction, and continuous improvement programs to offset the additional costs to this point, and will continue those efforts to bring you competitive pricing.

5 Global Sourcing January 1, 2017 Confidential 2

6 Chinese Garlic Current spot market granulated pieces are at $4.75+/lb. Dehydration seasoning is complete, and industry continues to project shortage/tight supply situation. Production of fresh garlic has declined each of the last 4 years. 3 January 1, 2017 Confidential

7 Vanilla Over the past 2 years, vanilla bean costs have increased 500%, with the steepest increase occurring over the last 6 months. During that same period, we had increased prices +25% in March of 2016 on pure vanilla SKUs, but held since then. 4 January 1, 2017 Confidential

8 Vanilla Situation Demand Global demand is estimated at 2,700 to 3,000 tons, far exceeding supply Large scale food manufacturers are significantly increasing the demand as they continue to move their products to all natural flavors Supply 2016 Madagascar crop is estimated at 1,300 to 1,600 tons Farmers withheld as much as 40% of the crop Some, quality crop has been stored in vacuum packs Due to high demands, quality is falling. Vanillin content should range from 1.7 to 2.0, but has dropped in many cases to 1.3 to 1.5. Short beans and cuts (vanillin content of 0.5 to 0.9), the flavorless beans that should be discarded, are being sold. Alternatives It is better to use a high-quality imitation vanilla than a low-quality product that is pure in name only. These products are cheaper by the gallon, but will not provide the strength, aroma and consistency that our pure extracts continue to provide. January 1, 2017 Confidential 5

9 Commodity prices have increased significantly Summary The Spice and Extract Manufacturers have been subjected to steady, significant increases in cost over the past decade according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics PPI data. The last 12 months in particular have seen rapid inclines driven by a rising garlic market, offset slightly by a decline in the pepper market.

Orders placed on or before October 15, 2016, to ship on or before October 31, 2016 will be honored at current price levels. We do reserve the right to limit buy-ins to historical two week purchase levels. There are several factors contributing to this price increase including mix shifts in demand for premium and specialty products and increased global demand. Specifically, the U.S. Frozen Potato market has grown 4.2% in the last 12 months* and global demand for North American produced frozen potato products has surged 8.5% per year since 2002**. These shifts in market dynamics have resulted in unprecedented industry-wide tightness of supply, increased operational expenses, infrastructure investment, and other associated costs. We will continue to work with our suppliers to find ways to manage our operational costs. More importantly, we will be working with our distributor and operator customers to protect and grow Potato sales with innovation in products, programs, and patron promotions. McCain Foods thanks you for your continued business and support. Sincerely, Frank D. Finn *: NPD Potatotrac, 6/16, **: Potato Market News, 5/16

We have a bill back from McCain but not as much of an allowance as we had last year. NOTE: this product was not part of the Original bid 3 years ago.. it was added last year as the product came on line to sell to the schools. Also, further below is the Producer price index for Potatoes. ( the large increase in potato cost has also caused the reduction of the allowances given to distributors for bid pricing). In addition diesel fuel is below the potatoes - and the price of transporting foods has also started climbing up.
