THE
COMPANY
Overview
Mama’s
Creations’ roots go back to our founder Dan Dougherty, whose grandmother Anna “Mama” Mancini emigrated from Bari, Italy
to Bay Ridge, Brooklyn in 1921. Our products were developed using her old-world Italian recipes that were handed down to her grandson,
Dan Dougherty. Today we market a line of all-natural specialty prepared, refrigerated foods for sale in retailers around the country.
Our primary products include beef and turkey meatballs, meat loaf, chicken, sausage-related products and pasta entrees. Formerly called
MamaMancini’s Holdings, Inc., on July 31, 2023, we changed our name to Mama’s Creations, Inc., reflecting our evolution into
a national deli prepared foods platform company.
The
Company’s broad product portfolio, born from a rich history in Italian foods, now consists of a variety of high quality, fresh,
clean and easy to prepare foods to address the needs of both our consumers and retailers. Our vision is to become a one-stop-shop deli
solutions platform, leveraging vertical integration and a diverse family of brands to offer a wide array of prepared foods to meet the
changing demands of the modern consumer.
Our
products are all natural, contain a minimum number of ingredients and are generally derived from the original recipes of Anna “Mama”
Mancini. Our products appeal to health-conscious consumers who seek to avoid artificial flavors, synthetic colors and preservatives that
are used in many conventional packaged foods.
Our
products are principally sold to supermarkets, club chains and mass-market retailers. We currently have more than 50 primary product
offerings across our beef, chicken, salad & olive portfolios which are packaged in different sized retail and bulk packages. Our
products are principally sold in the deli section of the supermarket, including hot bars, salad bars, prepared foods (meals), sandwich,
as well as cold deli and foods-to-go sections. Our products are also sold in the fresh meat section. We sell directly to both food retailers
and food distributors.
Finally,
we also sell our products on QVC through live on-air offerings, auto ship programs and for everyday purchases on their web site. QVC
is the world’s largest direct to consumer marketer.
Our
Strengths
We
believe that the following strengths differentiate our products and our brand:
● |
Authentic
recipes and great taste. Our Mama’s Creations’ products are founded upon Anna “Mama” Mancini’s
old-world Italian recipes. We believe the authenticity of our products has enabled us to build and maintain loyalty and trust among
our current customers and will help us attract new customers. Additionally, we continuously receive positive customer testimonials
regarding the great taste and quality of our products. |
|
|
● |
Healthy
and convenient. Our products are made only from high quality natural ingredients, including domestic inspected beef, whole Italian
tomatoes, genuine imported Pecorino Romano, real eggs, natural breadcrumbs, olive oil and other herbs and spices. Our products are
also simple to prepare. Virtually every product we offer is ready-to-serve within 12 minutes, thereby providing quick and easy meal
solutions for our customers. By including the sauce and utilizing a tray with our packaging, our meatballs can be prepared quickly
and easily.. |
|
|
● |
Great
value. We strive to provide our customers with a great tasting product using all-natural ingredients at an affordable price.
Typical retail prices range from $5.99 to $9.99 for products sold in fresh meat sections, delis or hot bars. We believe the sizes
of our product offerings represent a great value for the price. |
|
|
● |
New
products and innovation. Since our inception, we have continued to introduce new and innovative products. While we pride on ourselves
on our traditional beef and turkey meatballs and meat loaf, we have continuously made efforts to grow and diversify our line of products
while maintaining our high standards for all natural, healthy ingredients and great taste. Fiscal Year 2022 introductions of Meal-For-One
ready to eat home meals and our Meatballs-in-a-Cup snack are examples of continued product innovation. Our new lines of chicken cutlets,
breaded chicken products and gourmet pasta salads and savory olive products will be a natural extension to our national customers
and club stores. |
|
|
● |
Key
Market Concentration. Through the acquisition of T&L Creative Salads and Olive Branch products (collectively, T&L”),
Mama’s Creations believes it is now deeply established in the New York-New Jersey-Connecticut tristate metro market with strong
new distribution to delis, independent end retailers, bagel shops and provision distributors. Mama’s Creations’ products
will fit well into the needs of this market extending our brand. In addition, our legacy Mama’s Creations’ national distribution
footprint allows our new T&L and Olive Branch products to gain broader national distribution. |

Creations, Inc. (formerly MamaMancini’s Holdings, originally Mascot Properties, Inc.) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on

RISK
FACTORS
Investing
in our securities involves a high degree of risk. Before deciding whether to invest in our securities, you should carefully consider
the risks and uncertainties described the section titled “Risk Factors” in the applicable prospectus supplement and any related
free writing prospectus, and discussed in the sections titled “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our most recent Annual Report on
Form 10-K, our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended July 31, 2023 and in any subsequent filings we have made with
the SEC that are incorporated by reference into this prospectus, together with other information in this prospectus, the documents incorporated
by reference, and any prospectus supplement or free writing prospectus that we may authorize for use in connection with this offering.
See “Where You Can Find More Information” for more information. The risks described these documents are not the only ones
we face. Additional risks and uncertainties that we are unaware of, or that we currently believe are not material, may also become important
factors that adversely affect our business. Past financial performance may not be a reliable indicator of future performance, and historical
trends should not be used to anticipate results or trends in future periods. If any of these risks actually occurs, our business, reputation,
financial condition, results of operations, revenue, and future prospects could be seriously harmed. This could cause the trading price
of our securities to decline, resulting in a loss of all or part of your investment. Please also read carefully the section titled “Cautionary
Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.”
Risks
Related to the Common Shares Offered by the Selling Stockholders
If
the Selling Stockholders sell significant amounts of our common shares, or the perception exists that these sales could occur, such events
could cause our common share price to decline.
This
prospectus covers the resale from time to time by the Selling Stockholders of up to 5,629,921 of our common shares. Once the registration
statement of which this prospectus is a part is declared effective, all of these shares will be available for resale in the public market.
If the Selling Stockholders sell significant amounts of our common shares following the effectiveness of the registration statement of
which this prospectus is a part, the market price of our common shares could decline. Further, the perception of these sales could impair
our ability to raise additional capital through the sale of our equity securities.
The
proceeds from the sale of our common shares by the Selling Stockholders in this offering will not be available to us.
We
will not receive any proceeds from the sale of our common shares by the Selling Stockholders in this offering. The Selling Stockholders
will receive all proceeds from the sale of such shares. Consequently, none of the proceeds from such sale by the Selling Stockholders
will be available to us for our use.
USE
OF PROCEEDS
We
are registering the resale of the 5,629,921 shares of Common Stock offered by the Selling Stockholders. All of the shares of Common Stock
offered by the Selling Stockholders pursuant to this prospectus will be sold by them for their respective accounts. We are not selling
any securities under this prospectus and will not receive any proceeds from the sales covered hereby. The net proceeds from the sale
of the Selling Stockholder Shares will be received by the Selling Stockholders.
Discounts,
concessions, commissions and similar selling expenses attributable to the sale of the Selling Stockholder Shares will be borne by the
Selling Stockholders. All other expenses (other than discounts, concessions, commissions and similar selling expenses) relating
to the registration of the Selling Stockholder Shares with the SEC shall be paid or reimbursed by the Selling Stockholders.

Nevada
Anti-Takeover Law, Provisions of our Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws
Anti-Takeover
Effects of Provisions of Nevada State Law
We
may be, or in the future we may become, subject to Nevada’s control share laws. A corporation is subject to Nevada’s control
share law if it has more than 200 stockholders, at least 100 of whom are stockholders of record and residents of Nevada, and if the corporation
does business in Nevada, including through an affiliated corporation. This control share law may have the effect of discouraging corporate
takeovers. As of October 19, 2023, we had less than 100 stockholders of record who were residents of Nevada.
The
control share law focuses on the acquisition of a “controlling interest,” which means the ownership of outstanding voting
shares that would be sufficient, but for the operation of the control share law, to enable the acquiring person to exercise the following
proportions of the voting power of the corporation in the election of directors: (1) one-fifth or more but less than one-third; (2) one-third
or more but less than a majority; or (3) a majority or more. The ability to exercise this voting power may be direct or indirect, as
well as individual or in association with others.
The
effect of the control share law is that an acquiring person, and those acting in association with that person, will obtain only such
voting rights in the control shares as are conferred by a resolution of the stockholders of the corporation, approved at a special or
annual meeting of stockholders. The control share law contemplates that voting rights will be considered only once by the other stockholders.
Thus, there is no authority to take away voting rights from the control shares of an acquiring person once those rights have been approved.
If the stockholders do not grant voting rights to the control shares acquired by an acquiring person, those shares do not become permanent
non-voting shares. The acquiring person is free to sell the shares to others. If the buyer or buyers of those shares themselves do not
acquire a controlling interest, the shares are not governed by the control share law.
If
control shares are accorded full voting rights and the acquiring person has acquired control shares with a majority or more of the voting
power, a stockholder of record, other than the acquiring person, who did not vote in favor of approval of voting rights, is entitled
to demand fair value for such stockholder’s shares.
In
addition to the control share law, Nevada has a business combination law, which prohibits certain business combinations between Nevada
publicly traded corporations and “interested stockholders” for two years after the interested stockholder first becomes an
interested stockholder, unless the corporation’s Board of Directors approves the combination in advance. For purposes of Nevada
law, an interested stockholder is any person who is: (a) the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of 10% or more of the voting power
of the outstanding voting shares of the corporation, or (b) an affiliate or associate of the corporation and at any time within the previous
two years was the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of 10% or more of the voting power of the then-outstanding shares of the
corporation. The definition of “business combination” contained in the statute is sufficiently broad to cover virtually any
kind of transaction that would allow a potential acquirer to use the corporation’s assets to finance the acquisition or otherwise
to benefit its own interests rather than the interests of the corporation and its other stockholders.
The
effect of Nevada’s business combination law is to potentially discourage parties interested in taking control of the Company from
doing so if it cannot obtain the approval of our Board of Directors.
Articles
of Incorporation and Bylaws
Provisions
of our articles of incorporation (as amended) and amended and restated bylaws may delay or discourage transactions involving an actual
or potential change in control of our company or change in our management, including transactions in which stockholders might otherwise
receive a premium for their shares, or transactions that our stockholders might otherwise deem to be in their best interests. Therefore,
these provisions could adversely affect the price of our Common Stock.
Among
other things, our amended articles of incorporation (as amended) and amended and restated bylaws:
● |
permit
our Board of Directors to issue up to 20,000,000 shares of preferred stock, with any rights, preferences and privileges as they may
designate, including the right to approve an acquisition or other change in control; |
● |
provide
that the authorized number of directors may be changed by resolution of the Board of Directors and the affirmative vote of a majority
of the outstanding shares; |
● |
provide
that all vacancies, including newly created directorships, may, except as otherwise required by law, be filled by the affirmative
vote of a majority of directors then in office, even if less than a quorum; |

do
not provide for cumulative voting rights (therefore allowing the holders of a majority of the shares of Common Stock entitled to
vote in any election of directors to elect all of the directors standing for election, if they should so choose). |
SELLING
STOCKHOLDERS
The
Selling Stockholders are offering for resale, from time to time, up to an aggregate of 5,629,921 shares of Common Stock. The Selling
Stockholders may sell some, all or none of the shares offered by this prospectus. Because the number of shares the Selling Stockholders
may offer and sell is not presently known, we cannot estimate the number of shares that will be held by the Selling Stockholders after
completion of this offering. The following table, however, sets forth the number of shares of Company Common Stock beneficially owned,
as of the date of this prospectus, by the Selling Stockholders prior to the offering contemplated by this prospectus and the number of
shares each selling stockholder would own beneficially if the maximum number of shares offered hereunder are sold.
None
of the Selling Stockholders are known to us to be a registered broker-dealer or an affiliate of a registered broker-dealer. Each of the
Selling Stockholders has acquired his, her or its shares solely for investment and not with a view to or for resale or distribution of
such securities. Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with SEC rules and includes voting or investment power with respect
to the securities.
The
information set forth in the table below is based upon written representations from the Selling Stockholders. Beneficial ownership of
the Selling Stockholders is determined in accordance with Rule 13d-3(d) under the Exchange Act. The following table sets forth (i) the
names of each Selling Stockholder, (ii) the number of shares of our Common Stock beneficially owned by each Selling Stockholder before
the offering, (iii) the number of shares that may be offered under this prospectus, (iv) the number of shares of our Common Stock beneficially
owned by each such Selling Stockholder assuming all of the shares covered hereby are sold and (v) the percentage of shares beneficially
owned before and after the offering, which is based on approximately 37,080,337 shares of our Common Stock outstanding as of October
19, 2023.
We
do not know how long the Selling Stockholders will hold the shares before selling them, and we currently have no agreements, arrangements,
or understandings with the Selling Stockholders regarding the sale or other disposition of any shares. Because a Selling Stockholder
may sell, some or none of the shares of Common Stock that it holds that are covered by this prospectus, no estimate can be given as to
the number of shares of our Common Stock that will be held by a Selling Stockholder upon the termination of the offering. The information
set forth in the following table regarding the beneficial ownership after the resale of shares is based upon the assumption that the
Selling Stockholders will sell all of the shares of Common Stock covered by this prospectus.
Except
as set forth below, to our knowledge, the Selling Stockholders listed in the table below do not have, and during the three years prior
to the date of this prospectus have not had, any position, office, or other material relationships with us or any of our affiliates other
than as a stockholder.
Please
see the section titled “Plan of Distribution” in this prospectus for further information regarding the Selling Stockholder’s
method of distributing these shares.

or the return of which is derived in whole or in part from the value of, our shares of Common Stock; and |
|
●
|
a
combination of any such methods of sale or any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law. |
The
Selling Stockholders may, from time to time, pledge or grant a security interest in some shares of our Common Stock owned by it and,
if the Selling Stockholders defaults in the performance of its secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell
such shares of Common Stock, as applicable, from time to time, under an amendment or supplement to this prospectus amending the list
of the Selling Stockholders to include the pledgee, transferee or other successors in interest as the Selling Stockholders under this
prospectus.
In
connection with the sale of shares of our Common Stock or interests therein, the Selling Stockholders may enter into hedging transactions
with broker-dealers or other financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of our Common Stock in the course of hedging
the positions they assume. The Selling Stockholders may also sell shares of our Common Stock short and deliver these securities to close
out any short positions, or loan or pledge shares of our Common Stock to broker-dealers that in turn may sell these securities. The Selling
Stockholders may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions or the creation of
one or more derivative securities that require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of shares of our Common
Stock offered by this prospectus, which shares such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus
(as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).
The
aggregate proceeds to the Selling Stockholders from the sale of shares of our Common Stock offered by it will be the purchase price of
such shares of our Common Stock less discounts or commissions, if any. The Selling Stockholders reserves the right to accept and, together
with their agents from time to time, to reject, in whole or in part, any proposed purchase of shares of our Common Stock to be made directly
or through agents. We will not receive any of the proceeds from any offering by the Selling Stockholders.
There
can be no assurance that the Selling Stockholders will sell all or any of the shares of our Common Stock offered by this prospectus.
The Selling Stockholders also may in the future resell a portion of our Common Stock in open market transactions in reliance upon Rule
144 under the Securities Act, provided that they meet the criteria and conform to the requirements of that rule, or pursuant to other
available exemptions from the registration requirements of the Securities Act.
The
Selling Stockholders and any underwriters, broker-dealers or agents that participate in the sale of shares of our Common Stock or interests
therein may be “underwriters” within the meaning of Section 2(11) of the Securities Act. Any discounts, commissions, concessions
or profit they earn on any resale of shares of our Common Stock may be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act.
If any Selling Stockholders is an “underwriter” within the meaning of Section 2(11) of the Securities Act, then the Selling
Stockholders will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act. Underwriters and their controlling persons,
dealers and agents may be entitled, under agreements entered into with us and the Selling Stockholders, to indemnification against and
contribution toward specific civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.
To
the extent required, our Common Stock to be sold, the respective purchase prices and public offering prices, the names of any agent,
dealer or underwriter, and any applicable discounts, commissions, concessions or other compensation with respect to a particular offer
will be set forth in an accompanying prospectus supplement or, if appropriate, a post-effective amendment to the registration statement
that includes this prospectus.
To
facilitate the offering of shares of our Common Stock offered by the Selling Stockholders, certain persons participating in the offering
may engage in transactions that stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the price of our Common Stock. This may include over-allotments
or short sales, which involve the sale by persons participating in the offering of more shares of Common Stock than were sold to them.
In these circumstances, these persons would cover such over-allotments or short positions by making purchases in the open market or by
exercising their over-allotment option, if any. In addition, these persons may stabilize or maintain the price of our Common Stock by
bidding for or purchasing shares of Common Stock in the open market or by imposing penalty bids, whereby selling concessions allowed
to dealers participating in the offering may be reclaimed if shares of Common Stock sold by them are repurchased in connection with stabilization
transactions. The effect of these transactions may be to stabilize or maintain the market price of our Common Stock at a level above
that which might otherwise prevail in the open market. These transactions may be discontinued at any time.
The
Selling Stockholders may solicit offers to purchase shares of our Common Stock directly from, and they may sell such shares of our Common
Stock directly to, institutional investors or others. In this case, no underwriters or agents would be involved. The terms of any of
those sales, including the terms of any bidding or auction process, if utilized, will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement
to the extent required.
It
is possible that one or more underwriters may make a market in our shares of our Common Stock, but such underwriters will not be obligated
to do so and may discontinue any market making at any time without notice. We cannot give any assurance as to the liquidity of the trading
market for our shares of our Common Stock. Our common is listed on NASDAQ under the symbol “MAMA”.
The
Selling Stockholders may authorize underwriters, broker-dealers or agents to solicit offers by certain purchasers to purchase shares
of our Common Stock at the public offering price set forth in the prospectus supplement pursuant to delayed delivery contracts providing
for payment and delivery on a specified date in the future. The contracts will be subject only to those conditions set forth in the prospectus
supplement, and the prospectus supplement will set forth any commissions we or the Selling Stockholders pay for solicitation of these
contracts. The underwriters, broker-dealers and agents may engage in transactions with us or the Selling Stockholders, or perform services
for us or the Selling Stockholders, in the ordinary course of business.
The
Selling Stockholders may use this prospectus in connection with resales of shares of our Common Stock. This prospectus and any accompanying
prospectus supplement will identify the Selling Stockholders, the terms of our Common Stock and any material relationships between us
and the Selling Stockholders. The Selling Stockholders may be deemed to be an underwriter under the Securities Act in connection with
shares of our Common Stock it resells and any profits on the sales may be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions under the
Securities Act. Unless otherwise set forth in a prospectus supplement, the Selling Stockholders will receive all the net proceeds from
the resale of shares of our Common Stock.
As
an entity, the Selling Stockholders may elect to make an in-kind distribution of Common Stock to its members, partners or shareholders
pursuant to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part by delivering a prospectus. To the extent that such members,
partners or shareholders are not affiliates of ours, such members, partners or shareholders would thereby receive freely tradable shares
of Common Stock pursuant to the distribution through a registration statement.
We
are required to pay all fees and expenses incident to the registration of shares of our Common Stock to be offered and sold pursuant
to this prospectus.

15. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Pursuant
to our articles of incorporation (as amended) and amended and restated by-laws, we may indemnify an officer or director who is made a
party to any proceeding, including a lawsuit, because of his position, if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed
to be in our best interest. In certain cases, we may advance expenses incurred in defending any such proceeding. To the extent that the
officer or director is successful on the merits in any such proceeding as to which such person is to be indemnified, we must indemnify
him against all expenses incurred, including attorney’s fees. With respect to a derivative action, indemnity may be made only for
expenses actually and reasonably incurred in defending the proceeding, and if the officer or director is judged liable, only by a court
order. The prior discussion of indemnification in this paragraph is intended to be to the fullest extent permitted by the laws of the
State of Nevada.
Indemnification
for liabilities arising under the Securities Act, as amended, may be permitted to directors or officers pursuant to the foregoing provisions.
However, we are informed that, in the opinion of the Commission, such indemnification is against public policy, as expressed in the Securities
Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

17. Undertakings
|
(a) |
The
undersigned registrant hereby undertakes: |
|
(1) |
To
file, during the period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement: |
|
(i) |
To
include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act; |
|
|
|
|
(ii) |
To
reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the Registration Statement (or the most recent
post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set
forth in the Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if
the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end
of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) if,
in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price
set forth in the “Calculation of Filing Fee” table in the effective Registration Statement; and |
|
|
|
|
(iii) |
To
include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the Registration Statement
or any material change to such information in the Registration Statement; |
Provided,
however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i), (a)(1)(ii) and (a)(1)(iii) above do not apply if the information required to be included in a
post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the SEC by the Registrant pursuant
to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, or is contained in a form
of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is part of the Registration Statement.
|
(2) |
That,
for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a
new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be
deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. |
|
|
|
|
(3) |
To
remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the
termination of the offering. |
|
|
|
|
(4) |
That,
for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act to any purchaser: |
|
(i) |
Each
prospectus filed by the Registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) shall be deemed to be part of the Registration Statement as of the
date the filed prospectus was deemed part of and included in the Registration Statement; and |
|
(ii) |
Each
prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5), or (b)(7) as part of a registration statement in reliance on
Rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii) or (x) for the purpose of providing the information required
by Section 10(a) of the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of and included in the Registration Statement as of the earlier
of the date such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of sale of securities in
the offering described in the prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at
that date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the Registration Statement relating to the securities
in the Registration Statement to which that prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed
to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. |
Provided,
however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the Registration Statement or made in a
document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the Registration
Statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify any statement that
was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the Registration Statement or made in any such document immediately
prior to such effective date.
|
(5) |
That
for the purpose of determining liability of the Registrant under the Securities Act to any purchaser in the initial distribution
of the securities, the undersigned Registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned Registrant pursuant
to this Registration Statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities
are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned Registrant will be a seller
to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser: |
|
(i) |
Any
preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned Registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule
424; |
|
|
|
|
(ii) |
Any
free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned Registrant or used or referred to by
the undersigned Registrant; |
|
|
|
|
(iii) |
The
portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned Registrant
or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned Registrant; and |
|
|
|
|
(iv) |
Any
other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned Registrant to the purchaser. |
|
(b) |
The
undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of
the Registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each
filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference
in the Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and
the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. |
|
|
|
|
(h) |
Insofar
as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons
of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the
SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim
for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director,
officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such
director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion
of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether
such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such
issue. |
SIGNATURES
Pursuant
to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all
of the requirements for filing on Form S-3 and has duly caused this registration statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned,
thereunto duly authorized in the City of East Rutherford in the State of New Jersey on the 27th day of October, 2023.

RE:
|
Registration
Statement on Form S-3 |
Ladies
and Gentlemen:
We
have acted as Nevada counsel to Mama’s Creations, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), in connection
with the Company’s registration statement on Form S-3 (the “Registration Statement”), filed with the United
States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on October 27, 2023, under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
(the “Securities Act”), relating to the registration of up to 5,629,921 shares of its Common Stock (the “Selling
Stockholder Shares”) to be sold by the Selling Stockholders listed in the Registration Statement under “Selling Stockholders”.
This opinion letter is furnished to you at your request to enable you to fulfill the requirements of Item 601(b)(5) of SEC Regulation
S-K (12 C.F.R. § 229.601(b)(5)).
In
our capacity as Nevada counsel to the Company and for the purposes of the opinions set forth below, we have examined originals, or copies
certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of the following documents: (i) the Registration Statement; (ii) the Articles
of Incorporation of the Company as filed with the Secretary of State of Nevada on July 22, 2009, as amended by that certain Certificate
of Amendment as filed with the Secretary of State of Nevada on February 26, 2013, as amended by that certain Certificate of Amendment
as filed with the Secretary of State of Nevada on July 31, 2023; (iii) the Amended and Restated Bylaws of the Company dated July 31,
2023; (iv) that certain unanimous written consent of the Board of Directors of the Company dated October 27, 2023; and (v) that certain
Officer’s Certificate of the Company dated October 27, 2023. We also have examined originals or copies, certified or otherwise
identified to our satisfaction, of such records of the Company and such agreements, certificates of public officials, certificates of
officers, or other representatives of the Company and others, and such other documents, certificates, and records as we have deemed necessary
or appropriate as a basis for the opinions set forth herein.
In
reaching the opinions set forth below, we have assumed the legal capacity and competence of natural persons, the genuineness of all signatures,
the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to original documents of documents submitted to us as
certified, conformed, photostatic, electronic or facsimile copies, and the accuracy and completeness of all documents reviewed by us.
In rendering the opinions set forth below, we have relied as to factual matters upon certificates, statements and representations of,
and other information obtained from, the Company, its officers and representatives, public officials and other sources. We have assumed
the conformity of the documents filed with the SEC via the EDGAR system, except for required EDGAR formatting changes, to physical copies
of the documents submitted for our examination.

In
making our examination of documents executed by parties other than the Company, we have assumed that such parties had the power, corporate
or other, to enter into and perform all obligations thereunder and have also assumed the due authorization of all requisite action, corporate
or other, and execution and delivery by such parties of such documents and the validity and binding effect thereof with respect to such
parties.
On
the basis of the foregoing, and subject to the qualifications, assumptions, and limitations set forth herein, we are of the opinion that
the Selling Stockholder Shares have been duly authorized and validly issued and are fully paid and non-assessable.
The
foregoing opinions are limited to the matters expressly set forth herein and no opinion may be implied or inferred beyond the matters
expressly stated. We disclaim any obligation to update this letter for events occurring after the date of this letter or as a result
of knowledge acquired by us after that date, including changes in any of the statutory or decisional law after the date of this letter.
We express no opinion as to the effect and application of the laws, rules or regulations of any jurisdiction (including United States
federal laws, rules and regulations), other than the laws, rules and regulations of the State of Nevada as presently in effect (excluding
securities laws, of which we render no opinion), which in our experience are normally applicable to transactions of the type contemplated
by the opinions.
We
hereby consent to the filing of this opinion letter as an exhibit to the Registration Statement and to the references to us under the
heading “Legal Matters” in the prospectus forming part of the Registration Statement and any supplement thereto. In giving
such consent, we do not thereby admit that we are in the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities
Act or the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.

Very
Truly Yours, |
