FRESH DEL MONTE PRODUCE INC

We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 27, 2026. Based upon this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of such date to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms. Such officers also confirm that there were no changes to our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 27, 2026 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting with exception of the acquisition noted below.

On March 19, 2026, we completed our acquisition of select assets of Del Monte Foods Corporation II Inc. and its affiliates ("Del Monte Foods") following a court-supervised bankruptcy auction process under Section 363 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. As a result of the acquisition, management is in the process of evaluating the existing controls and procedures of the acquired business and integrating it into our internal control over financial reporting. In accordance with interpretive guidance issued by the SEC staff, management is permitted to exclude an acquired business from its assessment of internal control over financial reporting in the first year subsequent to its acquisition. In light of the overlap between disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting, we have excluded the portion of disclosure controls and procedures that are subsumed within the internal control over financial reporting of Del Monte Foods from management's evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 27, 2026. The total assets and total revenues excluded from our assessment represented 11% and 2% as of and for the quarter ended March 27, 2026
