Item 4.01 Change in Registrant's Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

         (a) On July 15, 2005, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of
ConAgra Foods, Inc. determined it will dismiss Deloitte & Touche LLP ("Deloitte
& Touche") as the company's independent registered public accounting firm
effective with the completion of the audit for the company's fiscal year ended
May 29, 2005.

         Deloitte & Touche's reports on the company's consolidated financial
statements for the fiscal years ended May 25, 2003 and May 30, 2004 did not
contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor were they qualified or
modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. Deloitte &
Touche's report dated July 26, 2004 (April 27, 2005 as to Note 21) included
explanatory paragraphs related to change in methods of accounting for variable
interest entities and asset retirement obligations in 2004, goodwill and other
intangible assets in 2003 and derivative instruments and hedging activities in
2002 and the restatement of the company's consolidated financial statements.
During the 2004 and 2005 fiscal years and through July 15, 2005, there were no
disagreements with Deloitte & Touche on any matter of accounting principle or
practice, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure which,
if not resolved to Deloitte & Touche's satisfaction, would have caused Deloitte
& Touche to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in
connection with its report on the company's consolidated financial statements
for such years. There were no reportable events as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v)
of Regulation S-K except for a material weakness in internal control with
respect to accounting for income taxes as reported by the company in its Form
10-K/A filed April 29, 2005.

         The company is taking steps to remedy the material weakness and is
currently evaluating as to whether or not the material weakness was remediated
as of May 29, 2005, the end of fiscal 2005.

         Deloitte & Touche has furnished to the company a copy of a letter
addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether it agrees
with the above statements. A copy of Deloitte & Touche's letter, dated July 18,
2005, is filed as Exhibit 16 to this Form 8-K.

         (b) On July 15, 2005, the Audit Committee approved the engagement of
KPMG LLP ("KPMG") to audit the Company's financial statements for the fiscal
year ending May 28, 2006.

         During the 2004 and 2005 fiscal years, and through July 15, 2005 the
company has not consulted with KPMG with respect to any of the matters or
reportable events set forth in Item 304(a)(2)(i) and (ii) of Regulation S-K.

         The company expects Deloitte & Touche's report on the company's
consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended May 29, 2005 to be
issued in connection with the completion of the audit for fiscal 2005. Upon
receipt of such report, the company will file an amendment to this Form 8-K with
the specific date of dismissal of Deloitte & Touche and an update of the
disclosures required by Item 304(a)(1)(iv) and (v) of Regulation S-K through
that date.
