ITEM 5.05 Amendments to the Registrant’s Code of Ethics, or Waiver of a Provision of the Code of Ethics

On October 30, 2012, the Board of Directors of John B. Sanfilippo & Son, Inc. (the “Registrant”) approved and adopted an amendment to the Registrant’s Code of Conduct (as amended, the “Code”). The Code was amended to cross reference the Registrant’s recently adopted Anticorruption Policy.

The foregoing summary of the amendment and the Code is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, reference to the full text of the Code (a fully amended and restated copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 14.1 and incorporated herein by reference). The Code has been posted on the “Investor Relations” section of our website at www.jbssinc.com.
