Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-236787)

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as counsel to Mondelēz International, Inc., a Virginia corporation (the “Company”), in connection with the preparation and filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) of a prospectus supplement, dated March 3, 2021 (the “Prospectus Supplement”), filed with the Commission on March 4, 2021 pursuant to Rule 424(b) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and the offering by the Company pursuant thereto of €750,000,000 principal amount of the Company’s 0.250% Notes due 2028 (the “2028 Notes”), €600,000,000 principal amount of the Company’s 0.750% Notes due 2033 (the “2033 Notes”) and €650,000,000 principal amount of the Company’s 1.375% Notes due 2041 (the “2041 Notes” and, together with the 2028 Notes and the 2033 Notes, the “Notes”). In connection with the offering of the Notes, we have examined the registration statement on Form S-3, File No. 333-236787 (the “Registration Statement”), under the Securities Act and the prospectus included therein.

The Notes have been issued pursuant to the Indenture, dated as of March 6, 2015 (the “Base Indenture”), between the Company and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as trustee (the “Trustee”), as modified by the Supplemental Indenture No. 1, dated as of February 13, 2019, between the Company and the Trustee, and the Supplemental Indenture No. 2, dated as of April 13, 2020, between the Company and the Trustee, and as further modified in respect of the Notes by the Officers’ Certificate pursuant to Sections 201 and 301 of the Base Indenture, dated as of the date hereof (the Base Indenture, as so modified, the “Indenture”).

In arriving at the opinions expressed below, we have examined originals, or copies certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction as being true and complete copies of the originals, of the Indenture and the Notes and such other documents, corporate records, certificates of officers of the Company and of public officials and other instruments as we have deemed necessary or advisable to enable us to render these opinions. In our examination, we have assumed, without independent investigation, the genuineness of all signatures, the legal capacity and competency of all natural persons, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals and the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as copies. As to any facts material to these opinions, we have relied to the extent we deemed appropriate and without independent investigation upon statements and representations of officers and other representatives of the Company and others.
