FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

CONAGRA FOODS PRESENTS BUSINESS UPDATE AT CONSUMER CONFERENCE; RAISES EPS EXPECTATIONS FOR FISCAL 2008-2010; PROVIDES ESTIMATE OF COSTS FOR PEANUT BUTTER RECALL

OMAHA, Neb., Feb. 20, 2007 — Today ConAgra Foods Inc. (NYSE: CAG) will present a company update to the Consumer Analyst Group of New York at that group’s annual conference in Scottsdale, Ariz. In his remarks, ConAgra Foods CEO Gary Rodkin will assess the progress of the company’s key initiatives, discuss its current priorities and offer an outlook for the next several years. In addition, the company provided a preliminary estimated charge of $50 million to $60 million, or approximately $0.06 - $0.08 per share, for the current quarter related to the recent peanut butter recall.

Regarding its financial outlook:

•       Fiscal 2007: The company notes that its previous EPS guidance of $1.28 - $1.33 for fiscal 2007, excluding items impacting comparability, will need to be downwardly adjusted for the negative impact of the recent Peter Pan recall. The recall is the only reason for the downward revision. While the company is still quantifying the impact of the recall, its preliminary estimate is that the recall will create $50 million - $60 million, or $0.06 - $0.08 per share, of additional expense in the third quarter of the fiscal year. The company’s fiscal 2007 EPS performance will likely be towards the low end of the range previously cited, taking into account the costs associated with the recall and the fact that several areas within the company are performing better than planned. The company will have more details about the financial impact of the recall with its third quarter earnings release on March 22, 2007.

— more —

•       For the fiscal 2008-2010 forecast period, the company expects:

•           sales growth of 2-3% annually, and

•           earnings per share to accelerate to 8-10% annual growth, excluding items impacting comparability.

•           Throughout the fiscal 2008-2010 forecast period, the company expects profit margin expansion as well as improvement in return on invested capital.

•           The company’s capital allocation policy considers share repurchases to be the benchmark against which all other capital uses are measured. The company also notes that it values a healthy balance sheet and a healthy dividend.

The company’s slide presentation and remarks are archived on the company’s Web site at www.conagrafoods.com.

Prior to consideration of any impact of the peanut butter recall, management expected H2 FY 07 diluted EPS, excluding comparability items, in the range of $0.62 to $0.67 per share. This includes approximately $0.01 per share from the impact of share repurchases. The timing and amount of items impacting comparability in the second half makes a more detailed reconciliation of expected FY07 diluted EPS impracticable. Management expects the peanut butter recall to result in $50 million to $60 million of increased expense in the fiscal third quarter, which is not reflected in the numbers shown above; management will provide a more detailed estimate of the impact with its third quarter earnings release on March 22, 2007.
