             Supplement to Proxy Statement dated September 8, 1999

   In connection with the merger agreement between Chock full o'Nuts and Sara
Lee Corporation, Chock has provided each of the holders of its common stock as
of August 19, 1999, the record date, with a proxy statement describing the
merger. As described in the proxy statement, pursuant to the merger, for each
share of Chock full o'Nuts common stock you own, you will receive a fraction
between 0.5238 and 0.4231 of a share of Sara Lee common stock. In accordance
with the terms of the merger agreement, we will determine the exact fraction
by dividing: (1) $11.00, by (2) the average price per share of Sara Lee common
stock for the twenty consecutive trading days commencing on Friday, September
10, 1999 (the date the proxy statement was first mailed) and ending on October
7, 1999.

   Please review carefully the entire proxy statement.
