To Our Valued School Foodservice
and Distributor Customers

February 12, 2008 –The ConAgra Foods facility in Milton PA manufactures Chef Boyardee pasta products.

In light of recent concerns surrounding Westland Meat Co., we felt it was appropriate to issue a statement declaring that we do not use government commodity beef in our process. Furthermore, we have had no dealings with Westland and we do not utilize any of their products in our Milton, PA facility.

Please feel free to contact me with any questions you may have regarding this matter.

Sincerely,

Michelle Wright
Manager, Regulatory Affairs
