Batch Code C

The lot number is based on the production date. For example, if product was produced on May
14th, 2017, the lot number would be 20170514.

Batch Code D

Ingredion uses a 10-character code to identify lots or batches of pulse products (HOMECRAFT®
Pulse Flours and VITESSENCE® Pulse Proteins). The first 5 characters are AGT-M, followed by a
5-digit sequential number.

A typical batch number would be similar to AGT-M10000.

Batch Code E

The batch code consists of 6 digits and utilizes the Julian Date, the last digit of the year of
manufacture, the production line, and the production shift.

Example: 036521
036 = The thirty sixth day of the year, in this case February 5th.
5 = The last digit of the year of manufacture, in this case 2015
2 = The line the product was produced on, in this case, line #2.
1 = The shift that produced product, in this case 1st shift.

The batch code explanation applies to VITESSENCE® Pulse 1556 Protein pellets:

PP-000277. PP is for Protein Pellets followed by a sequential number that is the raw material bin
number that finished product was produced from.
