#### Code of Ethics
The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is responsible for developing and recommending to the Board a set of corporate governance guidelines applicable to the Company, including the Code of Ethics (the "Code"). The Board has adopted a Code that applies to all of the Company’s employees, officers and directors, as well as independent contractors working on behalf of the Company. Through our Code, we establish clear ethical and professional guidelines, and work though several mechanisms to hold the Company collectively to the highest professional ethical standards.

Our Code serves as a framework for our ethical business practices and provides us with high-level guidance and direction about difficult choices we might face. The Code defines our collective responsibilities to one another, our customers and consumers, the communities we call home and all our stakeholders. Adherence to the Code is critical for us to achieve our standards. The Code lays out a clear set of expectations for our employees, directors and suppliers and helps fortify our culture of integrity, accountability, and ownership for all who impact, or are impacted by, our business.

Our Code meets the requirements of a “code of ethics” as defined by Item 406 of Regulation S-K, and also meets the requirements of a “code of business conduct and ethics” under NYSE Rules. All employees are required to certify that they have reviewed and are familiar with the Code. The Code can be located in its entirety on the Company’s website at https://www.treehousefoods.com/investors/governance/governance-documents.
