CONAGRA FOODS CHAIRMAN ANNOUNCES SUCCESSION PLAN AND SEARCH FOR SUCCESSOR

OMAHA, Neb., May 10, 2005 -- ConAgra Foods (NYSE: CAG) Chairman and Chief
Executive Officer Bruce Rohde today launched a formal search for his own
successor.

As part of the company's current strategic planning process, Rohde discussed
succession planning with the ConAgra Foods Board of Directors and today formally
asked the Board to approve the formation of a search committee that will be
headed by Steven F. Goldstone, director, and retired Chairman and CEO of RJR
Nabisco.

"My goal here is to set the stage for purposeful succession planning. Because of
a diligent Board and a dedicated team of people, the right things have happened
over the past several years. The company has made significant progress and in my
view is now well poised for a new and significant phase of execution and
growth," said Rohde.

The 56-year-old Rohde has served as CEO of ConAgra Foods since September 1997
and Chairman since September 1998. In that timeframe he has transformed the
company from an agriculturally based conglomerate and built it into one of North
America's largest packaged foods companies focused on retail, foodservice and
ingredient customers. When he took over as CEO more than half of the company's
sales were derived from commodity businesses; in 2004 earnings and dividends
were record amounts, and more than 80% of the company's sales were derived from
branded and value-added foods.

"As a result of Bruce's leadership ConAgra Foods is greatly transformed. When we
recruited him as CEO we were looking for someone who was capable of
rationalizing and consolidating a business that had grown very quickly through
multiple acquisitions. He did that and more, improving the company's focus,
increasing profit margins and prudently allocating capital towards strategic
acquisitions, debt reduction, share repurchases and dividends. He also focused
on building corporate-wide systems and processes that place the company in a
position to execute its sales, marketing and operating programs in a highly
coordinated way," said Carl E. Reichardt, lead director of ConAgra Foods Board
of Directors, and retired chairman and CEO of Wells Fargo & Co.

During Rohde's tenure as CEO of ConAgra Foods:

     -    The company has been reshaped from 90 independent  operating companies
          into three  focused  business  segments  serving  customers in retail,
          foodservices and ingredients channels

     -    The company divested commodity-based businesses, including fresh beef,
          pork and chicken, canned seafood, cheese, and agricultural inputs. The
          company still holds 15.4 million shares of Pilgrim's Pride (NYSE: PPC)
          as a result of the divestiture of its poultry business.

     -    The company is now focused on marketing,  operational  efficiency  and
          business process  consolidation to improve customer  service,  enhance
          consumer demand and grow margins.

"Bruce has always been a forward-looking, focused individual who put shareholder
value at the top of his agenda. The Board is confident that the succession plan
will further the company's profit-enhancing initiatives that are now underway,
and looks forward to identifying candidates that fit with ConAgra Foods
strategic agenda for growth and profitability," said Reichardt.

companies, serving consumer grocery retailers, as well as restaurants and other
