WILL SEND YOU AN ADMISSION CARD.

March 28, 1995                                       EDWARD V. LAHEY, JR.

                                                         March 28, 1995


                              PROXY STATEMENT

     This Proxy Statement is furnished in connection with the solicitation
by the Board of Directors of PepsiCo, Inc. ("PepsiCo") of proxies to be
voted at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders to be held on Wednesday, May 3,
1995, and at any adjournment thereof.

     The Board requests that all shareholders complete the enclosed proxy
card, and sign, date and return it as promptly as possible.  Since many
shareholders cannot personally attend, it is necessary that a large number
be represented by proxy.  The holders of record of a majority of the
outstanding shares must be present in person or represented by proxy at the
Annual Meeting in order to hold the Meeting.  Under North Carolina law,
abstentions and broker non-votes are counted for purposes of determining
whether a quorum is present at the Meeting.

     Any shareholder returning a proxy may revoke it by casting a ballot at
the Meeting.  Any proxy not revoked will be voted as specified by the
shareholder.  If no choice is indicated, a proxy will be voted in
accordance with the Board of Directors' recommendations.

     PepsiCo's By-Laws require an affirmative vote of the holders of a
majority of the shares of Capital Stock present in person or by proxy and
entitled to vote for approval of each of the items listed on the proxy card
and described herein, with the exception of election of directors, which
requires a majority of the votes cast to elect; therefore, abstentions are
counted in the total number of votes cast on all proposals except the
election of directors.  This has the effect of requiring a higher vote for
passage of a proposal.  Broker non-votes are not shares entitled to vote,
are not counted in the total number of votes cast, and thus have no effect
on the outcome of voting.

     At March 10, 1995, the record date, there were 787,801,790 shares of
PepsiCo Capital Stock outstanding and entitled to one vote each at the
Annual Meeting.  These shares were registered in the names of 168,808
shareholders and, as far as is known to PepsiCo, no person owns
beneficially more than 5% of the outstanding Capital Stock.

     This Proxy Statement is first being mailed on or about March 28, 1995.

____________________________

     (1)  Each director and executive officer has sole voting and
investment power with respect to the shares listed above, except that
voting and investment power over a total of 34,645 shares is shared with
their spouses or children.  The shares shown include 3,140,948 shares of
PepsiCo Capital Stock with respect to which certain directors and executive
officers have a right to acquire beneficial ownership within 60 days.

     (2)  Such shares do not include 714,500 shares or options in the
aggregate, held by children or spouses of directors or executive officers,
or by foundations or estates of which directors and executive officers
serve as trustees or directors, as to which beneficial ownership is

 5

disclaimed.  The shares shown also do not include the following number of
PepsiCo Capital Stock equivalents, which are held in PepsiCo's deferred
income program:  Robert E. Allen 9,364 shares; Robert G. Dettmer 138,168
shares; Roger A. Enrico 8,568 shares; John J. Murphy 1,540 shares; Andrall
E. Pearson 6,179 shares; Roger B. Smith 15,302 shares; Arnold R. Weber
2,343 shares; and all directors and executive officers as a group 181,464
shares.

     Directors and executive officers as a group own less than 1% of
outstanding Capital Stock.  No director or executive officer owns more than
3/10 of 1% of outstanding Capital Stock.

     BOARD MEETINGS AND COMMITTEES OF THE BOARD.  PepsiCo's Board, which
held six meetings during the year, consists of ten independent outside
directors, and D. Wayne Calloway and Roger A. Enrico.  Because of its
compact, independent structure, the Board does not operate through a
variety of Committees and all outside directors serve on the two existing
committees.  Matters such as nominations for Board membership or issues
raised by shareholders are dealt with by the full Board.

     The Audit Committee, which was established in 1967, held two meetings
in 1994.  The Committee reviews external and internal audit plans and
activities, reviews PepsiCo's annual financial statements, reviews
PepsiCo's system of internal financial controls, approves the fees for
audit, audit-related and nonaudit services provided by the independent
auditors, and recommends to the Board the annual selection of independent
auditors.

     The Compensation Committee, which has been active under various names
since 1955, also held two meetings during 1994.  The Compensation Committee
has responsibility for administering PepsiCo's incentive plans, setting
policies that govern executives' annual compensation and long-term
incentives, and reviews management performance, development and succession.

     Due to surgery, Robert E. Allen was unable to attend a total of four
meetings which were held on two days; consequently, he attended fewer than
75% of the total number of Board and Committee meetings.  Excluding Mr.
Allen, average attendance by directors at Board and Committee meetings was
approximately 91%.

     REMUNERATION OF DIRECTORS.  Directors who are employees receive no
additional remuneration for serving as directors.  All other directors
receive annual retainers of $70,000 and an annual grant of PepsiCo Capital
Stock with a value of approximately $30,000 on the date of the grant.
Directors may elect to defer payment of their retainers and stock grants.
If the stock grant is deferred, the only investment option available is
PepsiCo Capital Stock equivalents, payable only in cash.  Deferrals may not
be made for less than one year.

                         EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

        Compensation Committee Report on Executive Compensation

Executive Pay Policy

     PepsiCo's executive compensation programs are designed to enable it to
recruit, retain and motivate a large group of talented and diverse domestic
and international executives.  This is essential for PepsiCo to achieve its
challenging worldwide performance objectives and to continue to achieve
outstanding shareholder returns.  As a result, the Committee has determined
that executive compensation opportunities, including those for PepsiCo's
Chief Executive Officer ("CEO"), should create incentives for superior
performance and consequences for below target performance.

     The Compensation Committee annually examines short-term and long-term
compensation levels for the CEO and other senior executives against a
survey of the compensation practices of a group of leading consumer product
companies.  This review is validated against surveys of the compensation
practices of a broader range of major companies, including the Fortune 50.
Together these companies are referred to as the "survey companies."  These
reviews also compare PepsiCo's short and long-term results with the
performance of the survey companies, to ensure a pay for performance
linkage.  The survey companies include some, but not all, of the companies
covered in the Standard & Poor's 500 Beverage, Food and Restaurant Indices
included on the Performance Graph on page 8.

     The Committee believes that our executive compensation programs have
met their objectives.  PepsiCo has been able to attract and retain the
executive talent necessary to support a corporation which has nearly
tripled its sales over the last seven years, while providing superior
shareholder returns.

Specific Compensation Programs

     PepsiCo's executive compensation mix includes a base salary, annual
cash bonus awards, and long-term incentive compensation in the form of
performance units and stock options.  Overall, these programs are intended
to be performance-oriented, with the principal portion of executive
compensation opportunities tied to achievement of annual objectives and
long-term shareholder returns.  It is the Committee's intention that
substantially all executive compensation be deductible for federal income
tax purposes.

     Salary ranges for the CEO and the other executive officers are based
on the underlying accountabilities of each executive's position, which are
reviewed on a regular basis and benchmarked against similar positions among
the survey companies.  These salary ranges are targeted at the upper end of
salaries for similar positions at the survey companies, however, individual
salaries are capped at $1 million.

     Bonus awards for PepsiCo's CEO and executive officers are paid based
on PepsiCo's overall performance against specified earnings targets set in
advance in accordance with the shareholder approved 1994 Executive
Incentive Compensation Plan.  The amount of the award an executive is
eligible to receive will increase if higher earnings per share targets are
achieved.  No payment will be made if the minimum earnings target is not
met.  Once those earnings targets are 

 7

achieved, the Committee exercises its discretion to determine the exact 
amount of the bonus to be paid to each  executive officer.  In determining 
the bonus of executive officers other than the CEO, the Committee considers 
PepsiCo's performance as well as subjective personal factors such as quality 
of strategic plans, organizational and management development and special 
project or idea leadership.  The CEO's bonus is based on the Committee's 
subjective assessment of a broad range of performance measures, including 
PepsiCo's financial results, strategic position, market share and performance
compared to the broad range of major companies included in the survey
companies.

     Long-term awards, made under the shareholder approved 1994 Long-Term
Incentive Plan, have generally been granted every other year in the form of
performance units and stock options.  Performance units are paid after four
years based on achieving earnings per share growth targets set in advance
by the Committee.  Stock options are granted at market value on the date of
grant and increase in value only to the extent of appreciation in PepsiCo's
Capital Stock.  Most become exercisable at the end of four years, and are
exercisable thereafter for six years.  PepsiCo's CEO and other executive
officers are given the opportunity to choose the mix of performance units
and stock options in their long-term awards.  The CEO and most executives
have elected 100% stock options.

Performance Evaluation

     The Committee meets without the CEO to evaluate his performance, and
with the CEO to evaluate the performance of other executive officers.  The
1994 salaries, bonuses and long-term incentive awards for the corporation's
CEO and executive officers set forth on page 9 were reviewed and approved
at meetings of the Compensation Committee held in January 1994 and January
1995.

     Decisions on senior executive officers' salaries and salary increases
were based on individual performance evaluations.  As described above,
decisions on senior executive officers' bonus awards were based on
PepsiCo's performance against established earnings targets and on
individual performance.  Last year PepsiCo exceeded the minimum earnings
targets.

     The CEO's 1994 salary was capped at $1 million.  The primary
performance measures used to determine the CEO's 1994 bonus award were
earnings results, the strength of PepsiCo's strategic position and its five-
year earnings per share growth and total return to shareholders as compared
to the survey companies.  With respect to earnings per share growth and
total shareholder return, PepsiCo ranked in the top one-third of the survey
companies.  The overall performance measures were not assigned specific
weights, but rather were weighted subjectively by each member of the
Compensation Committee.  PepsiCo's fiscal 1994 earnings per share growth
(adjusted for unusual items) was 10%.

     Long-term incentive awards were made to the executive officers last
year.  Long-term incentive levels for PepsiCo's CEO and other executive
officers are based on comparisons of award levels at the survey companies.
These long-term awards, which are intended as incentives for future
performance and are not based on past corporate performance, are targeted
at the upper end of awards for similar positions at the survey companies.

     The Performance Graph on page 8 compares PepsiCo's five year
cumulative total return to the Standard & Poor's 500 Stock Index and the
Standard & Poor's 500 Beverage, Food and

<PAGE 8>

Restaurant Indices.  PepsiCo's compounded annual total shareholder return
for the five years ended December 31, 1994 was 13%.

     (1)  The amounts indicated for each named executive officer include a
portion of the annual cost of life insurance policies on the lives of its
key employees paid by PepsiCo.  PepsiCo is reimbursed for its payments from
the proceeds of the policy in the event a covered employee dies while
employed by PepsiCo.
     (2)  Included in this amount are benefits from the use of corporate
transportation ($79,257 in 1994, $51,557 in 1993 and $42,888 in 1992 for
Mr. Calloway; $42,757 in 1994 for Mr. Enrico).
     (3)  Of the $225,797 in 1994, $3,823 is for life insurance (see (1))
and $221,974 is preferential earnings on income deferred by Mr. Dettmer
since 1978.  In order to earn a preferential return, Mr. Dettmer elected a
risk feature under which, if he terminated his employment, he would forfeit
all his deferred income.  In 1993, $121,193 represents $4,495 for life
insurance and $116,698 for preferential earnings on income and in 1992,
$90,969 represents $5,098 for life insurance and $85,871 for preferential
earnings.  Earnings for 1994 on Mr. Dettmer's deferred income were for five
quarters.
     (4)  Payment of this amount has been deferred by Mr. Enrico.  The
amount vested as a result of PepsiCo's achievement of a 10% cumulative
earnings per share growth target over a four-year period.

     The compensation covered by the Pension Plans (as defined below) is
based on the combined amounts set forth under the headings "Salary" and
"Bonus" of the Summary Compensation Table for each of the above-named
executive officers.  The years of credited service as of January 1, 1995
for the executive officers named on the Summary Compensation Table are as
follows:  D. Wayne Calloway -- 28 years; Robert G. Dettmer -- 22 years;
Roger A. Enrico -- 23 years; Robert L. Carleton -- 20 years and Edward V.
Lahey, Jr. -- 29 years.


     Computation of Benefits.  PepsiCo's executive officers are
participants in PepsiCo's Retirement Plan and PepsiCo's Pension
Equalization Plan (which was adopted in 1975 to provide those benefits
otherwise payable under the Retirement Plan but for ERISA limitations).
Such Plans are hereinafter referred to as the "Pension Plans."  Annual
benefits payable under the Pension Plans to employees with 5 or more years
of service at age 65 are, for the first 10 years of credited service, 30%
of the employee's highest consecutive five-year average annual earnings
plus an additional 1% of the employee's highest consecutive five-year
average annual earnings for each additional year of credited service over
10 years, less .43% of final average earnings not to exceed Social Security
covered compensation multiplied by years of service (not to exceed 35
years).

                   APPROVAL OF AUDITORS (PROXY ITEM NO. 2)

     The Audit Committee has recommended that KPMG Peat Marwick continue as
PepsiCo's independent auditors for 1995.  They have served as PepsiCo's
independent auditors since 1990.  They have been paid approximately $8.8
million for audit and audit-related services rendered for 1994.
Representatives of KPMG Peat Marwick will be available to answer questions
at the Annual Meeting and are free to make statements during the course of
the meeting.

     The Board of Directors recommends that shareholders vote FOR this
resolution.


                            SHAREHOLDERS' PROPOSALS

     Where proposals were submitted by more than one shareholder, PepsiCo
will only list the primary filer's name, address and number of shares held.
Information regarding co-filers will be furnished to any person, orally or
in writing as requested, promptly upon the receipt of any oral or written
request therefor.

                 Political Non-Partisanship (Proxy Item No. 3)

     Mrs. Evelyn Y. Davis, of the Watergate Office Building, 2600 Virginia
Avenue, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20037, who owns 450 shares of PepsiCo
Capital Stock, has advised PepsiCo that she intends to introduce from the
floor the following resolution for the reasons stated:

     "RESOLVED:  That the stockholders of PepsiCo assembled in Annual
Meeting in person and by proxy, hereby recommend that the Corporation
affirm its political non-partisanship.  To this end the following practices
are to be avoided:

     (a)  The handing of contribution cards of a single political party to
an employee by a supervisor.

     (b)  Requesting an employee to send a political contribution to an
individual in the Corporation for a subsequent delivery as part of a group
of contributions to a political party or fund raising committee.

     (c)  Requesting an employee to issue personal checks blank as to payee
for subsequent forwarding to a political party, committee or candidate.

     (d)  Using supervisory meetings to announce that contribution cards of
one party are available and that anyone desiring cards of a different party
will be supplied on request to his supervisor.

     (e)  Placing a preponderance of contribution cards of one party at
mail station locations.

     Reasons:  The Corporation must deal with a great number of
governmental units, commissions and agencies.  It should maintain
scrupulous political neutrality to avoid embarrassing entanglements
detrimental to its business.  Above all, it must avoid the appearance of
coercion in encouraging its employees to make political contributions
against 

 14

their personal inclinations.  The Troy (Ohio) News has condemned
partisan solicitation for political purposes by managers in a local company
(not PepsiCo).

     If you AGREE, please mark your proxy FOR this proposal."

     BOARD OF DIRECTORS' RESPONSE:      PepsiCo, like all corporations, is
subject to many federal and state laws and regulations that govern
corporate involvement in partisan political activity, and we fully comply
with these laws and regulations.  Some of the enumerated practices in the
shareholder proposal are, in fact, already prohibited by either federal or
state regulations.

     PepsiCo encourages its employees to participate voluntarily in civic
and community affairs.  We also respect the right of each employee to
exercise lawfully his or her constitutional right to participate
independently in the political process.

     PepsiCo's policies, together with federal and state laws and
regulations, are more than sufficient to meet the concern raised by this
proposal.

     The Board of Directors recommends that shareholders vote AGAINST this
resolution.

                      Cumulative Voting (Proxy Item No. 4)

     John J. Gilbert, who owns 768 shares of PepsiCo Capital Stock, and
John J. Gilbert and/or Margaret R. Gilbert, 29 East 64th Street, New York,
New York 10021-7943, co-trustees of 3,800 shares of PepsiCo Capital Stock
under the will of Caston J. Gilbert, have advised PepsiCo of their
intention to introduce from the floor the following resolution for the
reasons stated:

     "RESOLVED:  That the stockholders of PepsiCo, Inc., assembled in
annual meeting in person and by proxy, hereby request the Board of
Directors to take the steps necessary to provide for cumulative voting in
the election of directors, which means each stockholder shall be entitled
to as many votes as shall equal the number of shares he or she owns
multiplied by the number of directors to be elected, and he or she may cast
all of such votes for a single candidate, or any two or more of them as he
or she may see fit.

     Reasons:  Continued strong support along the lines we suggest were
shown at the last annual meeting when 22%, 10,276 owners of 116,524,000
shares, were cast in favor of this proposal.  The vote against included
14,331 unmarked proxies.

     A law enacted in California provides that all state pension holdings
and state college funds invested in shares must be voted in favor of
cumulative voting proposals, showing increasing recognition of the
importance of this democratic means of electing directors.

     The National Bank Act provides for cumulative voting.  Unfortunately,
in many cases companies get around it by forming holding companies without
cumulative voting.  Banking authorities have the right to question the
capability of directors to be on banking boards.  Unfortunately, in many
cases authorities come in after and say the director or directors were not
qualified.  We were delighted to see that the SEC has finally taken action
to prevent bad directors from being on the boards of public companies.

 15

     We think cumulative voting is the answer to find new directors for
various committees.  Additionally, some recommendations have been made to
carry out the Valdez 10 points.  The 11th should be having cumulative
voting and ending stagger systems of electing directors, in our opinion.

     When Alaska became a state it took away cumulative voting over our
objections.  The Valdez oil spill might have been prevented if
environmental directors were elected through cumulative voting.  Also, the
huge derivative losses might have been prevented with cumulative voting.

     Many successful corporations have cumulative voting.  For example,
Pennzoil having cumulative voting defeated Texaco in that famous case.
Another example is Ingersoll-Rand, which has cumulative voting and won two
awards.  In FORTUNE magazine it was ranked second as 'America's Most
Admired Corporations' and the WALL STREET TRANSCRIPT noted 'on almost any
criteria used to evaluate management, Ingersoll-Rand excels.'  In 1994 they
raised their dividend.  We believe PepsiCo should follow their example.

     If you agree, please mark your proxy for this resolution; otherwise it
is automatically cast against it, unless you have marked to abstain."

     BOARD OF DIRECTORS' RESPONSE:  Resolutions with regard to cumulative
voting submitted by these shareholders at previous annual meetings have
been soundly defeated.  The present system of voting for the election of
directors, under which the holders of a majority of the shares elect a
Board representing all shareholders, has served well and avoids the
conflict created where a director is elected by a narrow constituency.

     The Board of Directors recommends that shareholders vote AGAINST this
resolution.

                    Smokefree Restaurants (Proxy Item No. 5)

     The Dominican Sisters of Caldwell, Mount Saint Dominic, Caldwell, New
Jersey 07006, who own 3,500 shares of PepsiCo Capital Stock, have, along
with other religious institutions, submitted the following resolution for
the reasons stated:

          "WHEREAS--the EPA says exposure to environmental tobacco smoke
(ETS) causes cancer in exposed healthy nonsmokers.  The U.S. Public Health
Service, National Academy of Sciences, National Cancer Institute, National
Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, World Health Organization,
American Medical Association and American Cancer Society agree.

     --   The effect of ETS on children annually causes 150,000 - 300,000
lower respiratory infections (LRI), 7,500 - 15,000 hospitalizations for
LRI, 400,000 - 1,000,000 attacks of asthma, 8,000 - 26,000 new cases of
asthma, respiratory symptoms of irritation, middle ear effusion, and
significant reduction in lung functions.

     --   Millions of children visit our facilities.  In doing so they are
often involuntarily exposed to ETS.  The Texas Attorney General has sued
five fast-food restaurant chains, charging them with jeopardizing
customers' and employees' health.

 16

     --   For restaurant workers like waiters and bartenders, the risk of
getting lung cancer is 50% higher than the risk for others (The Journal of
the American Medical Association).  'Restaurant waiters had about 1.5 times
as great a likelihood of developing lung cancer as the general public' (The
New York Times 7/28/93).

     --   Research also shows that employee and patron smoking costs money
in the form of higher health insurance premiums, cleaning costs, fire, and
fire insurance.

     --   Failure to provide a safe eating environment may put our Company
at risk of being sued by nonsmoking employees, patrons, and/or the parents
of children who develop health problems from ETS exposure.

     --   In 1994 McDonalds became smokefree in all its company-owned
facilities, joining other large chains such as Arbys and Taco Bell.

          It has been noted that smokefree restaurants have not suffered
adverse financial affects from their decision.

          RESOLVED that shareholders request the Board of Directors to
adopt a policy making all our restaurants smokefree by 1996.  We request
the policy include stipulations that, beginning in 1996, all new
franchisees' facilities be smokefree and all renewals of franchise
agreements include smokefree facilities in the agreements.

          Supporting Statement.  To the knowledge of this resolution's
proponents, our Company has no smokefree policy covering all its facilities
and franchisees.  Yet data shows children and workers are liable to be
victims of ETS inhaled in those restaurants.  As for children's risk, John
Banshaf, Executive Director of Action on Smoking and Health, says this
'demands immediate action to protect the most vulnerable and helpless
nonsmokers:  millions of infants, toddlers, and other young children.'  As
for workers, The Milwaukee Journal editorialized (7/1/93) regarding smoking
bans in restaurants:  'Some courageous establishments have already done
that, while others, fearing the loss of patrons, have hesitated. . . .It's
true that many smokers find it hard to break the link between food, drink
and smoke.  Yet the study provides all the more reason for proprietors of
such places to insist on the break.  It's hardly fair for smokers to
endanger the health of workers for the sake of a few puffs.'

          If you agree, please vote 'yes.'"

     BOARD OF DIRECTORS' RESPONSE:  Several thousand of our restaurants are
completely smoke-free and many others provide nonsmoking areas for patrons.
All of our restaurants prohibit smoking in the kitchens and smoking by
employees while on duty and all of our restaurants follow local, state and
federal non-smoking regulations.  In addition, PepsiCo's corporate
headquarters is smoke-free and all of PepsiCo's divisions ban smoking in
their headquarters.

     PepsiCo's restaurants have taken a very responsive approach on this
public policy issue.  After it determined a large majority of its customers
preferred a smoke-free environment, Taco Bell not only made all of its
company-owned restaurants smoke-free, but has urged its franchisees to do
the same.

     In today's competitive quick service environment, where consumers have
many restaurant choices, a flat ban on smoking that targets only our
restaurants puts us at a competitive 

 17

disadvantage.  That is why Taco Bell, KFC and Pizza Hut joined with other 
members of The National Council of Chain Restaurants in publicly endorsing 
federal legislation that would prohibit or restrict smoking in all public 
facilities.  This would put all restaurants, ours and everyone else's, on an 
equal footing where we can compete on the basis of our value, quality and 
service.

     The Board of Directors recommends that shareholders vote AGAINST this
resolution.

                        Code of Conduct (Proxy Item No. 6)

     The Maryknoll Fathers and Brothers, P.O. Box 306, Maryknoll, New York
10545-0306, who own 300 shares of PepsiCo Capital Stock, have, along with
one other shareholder, submitted the following resolution for the reasons
stated:

          "WHEREAS PepsiCo's Code of Conduct functions as the company's
statement of policy for worldwide business conduct.  In it, PepsiCo
promotes:

          --  adherence to the highest standards of personal and
professional integrity and to avoid any situation that might reflect
unfavorably on us . . . as a Company;

          --  precedence of ethical standards;

          --  achievement of equality of opportunity for all employees;

          --  'fostering economic growth [which] strengthens both
understanding and peace;'

          --  protecting the environment and 'maintaining open and
constructive communication with local community and business leaders in
order to bring to fruition mutually acceptable objectives;'

          --  stating 'its position on issues of national and international
importance which may have an impact upon it or its operations throughout
the world.'

          We commend PepsiCo for creating such forward looking guidelines.
However, we believe these guidelines fall short in vitally important areas
and that, in fact, PepsiCo's international conduct, at times, is in direct
conflict with the company's own guidelines.

          For example, take the case of PepsiCo's expanding involvement in
the police state of Burma, one of the world's most repressive countries, as
confirmed by Amnesty International and the U.S. State Department.  Many
human rights groups believe PepsiCo's controversial business operations
under the illegitimate military junta in fact hurts our reputation more
than it builds respect in the world community.  Furthermore, a clear case
can be made that PepsiCo's Burma involvement strengthens the repressive
military government through the payment of tax dollars, providing
legitimacy to an ostracized government by investing there and portraying
the country in a positive light which helps counter international
criticism.  We believe, this conflicts with our company's pledge to
strengthen understanding and peace.  In fact, Pepsi has done a special
report on its Burma operations which, we believe, acts as an apology for
Pepsi's involvement.

 18

          But Burma is only one example.  PepsiCo also does business in
other countries with controversial human rights records:  Indonesia, China,
Guatemala, Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Thailand.

          Thus, we believe the PepsiCo Code needs significant expansion.
Entirely absent from the present Code is clear human rights criteria.  For
example, Levi Strauss, in its Guidelines for Country Selection, states:
'We should not initiate or renew contractual relationships in countries
where there are pervasive violations of human rights.'  Other companies,
such as Reebok and Phillips-Van Heusen, make commitments in their codes to
honor human rights.

          RESOLVED the shareholders request the Board of Directors to
review and update the PepsiCo Code of Conduct and report their revisions to
shareholders and employees by September 1995.  In its review, the Board
shall include a section advising PepsiCo on making decisions on investing
in or withdrawing from countries where there is a pattern of on-going and
systematic violation of human rights, where a government is illegitimate or
where there is a call by human rights advocates, pro-democracy
organizations or legitimately elected representatives for economic
sanctions against their country.

          Supporting Statement.  We believe our company policy has a major
loophole that needs to be addressed as it does business internationally.
This resolution urges our Directors to take leadership and add to our
Code."

     BOARD OF DIRECTORS' RESPONSE:  In 1994, PepsiCo revised its Worldwide
Code of Conduct.  The Code, which promotes the highest standards of ethics
and integrity as it relates to our international business practices,
states:  "Our objective is to be nonpolitical and to continue to be a good
corporate citizen wherever we operate."  We believe this is the best way to
operate a worldwide business and firmly believe international commerce
strengthens both understanding and peace.

     We do not agree with the actions of governments of every place we
operate.  However, due to the long-term nature of PepsiCo's businesses and
the inevitability of political and social change, we long ago concluded
that it is neither prudent nor appropriate for us to establish our own
country-by-country foreign policy.  Instead, we rely on the laws and
foreign policy created by the U.S. government.  The filers' proposal would
put PepsiCo in the untenable position of having to assess and respond to
any number of political and ideological disagreements which may arise
wherever we do business.

     The Board of Directors recommends that shareholders vote AGAINST this
resolution.

                Position on Health Care Reform (Proxy Item No. 7)

     The National Electrical Benefit Fund, 1125 15th Street, N.W.,
Washington, D.C. 20005, which holds 97,600 shares of PepsiCo Capital Stock,
submitted the following resolution for the reasons stated:

          "RESOLVED:  That the shareholders of PepsiCo, Inc. ("Company")
urge our board of directors to examine the Company's position on the
important public policy issue of national health care reform.  From this
examination, the board of directors will produce a written report that
describes how the public policy positions our Company is advocating on
national health 

 19

care reform will effect the economic, social and personal welfare of our 
Company's shareholders, workers, customers, suppliers, the communities in 
which we do business, and the nation as a whole.  The report shall also 
disclose the scope and the cost of the Company's national health care 
reform advocacy activities since 1991.

          The report shall exclude any proprietary information, be prepared
at reasonable cost, not impose an undue burden on company employees, and be
available to shareholders within six months after the 1995 annual meeting
of shareholders.

          Supporting Statement.  National health care reform has been the
pre-eminent public policy issue over the past four years.  Today's health
care system has produced 50 million Americans with inadequate insurance and
37 million Americans with no insurance at all.  The inability of the
current health care system to provide universal coverage has produced great
personal hardships, billions of dollars per year in uncompensated care, and
an upward cost spiral that threatens the competitiveness and profitability
of our Company and many other American businesses.

          PepsiCo's management has decided to publicly participate in the
national health care debate.  PepsiCo is a member of the steering committee
of HEAL -- the Health Care Equity Action League.  HEAL's public policy
positions include:

          -    the creation of a standard benefits package by the Federal
government, 'in consultation with states, localities, businesses, labor,
insurers and providers.'

          -    the taxation of employee health care benefits that exceed
'the cost of a standard health care benefit package when it is established'
as a way to control health care costs.

          -    opposition to employer mandates, payroll taxes to finance
health care premiums, and government price controls.

          PepsiCo's health care reform proposal is highly controversial.
Particularly, attempting to control costs through the taxation of employee
health benefits.  Such a policy could create a large tax burden for our
Company's employees, customers, and working families in America.

          We strongly believe that prior to getting our Company involved in
a politically contentious, ideologically charged national public policy
debate, such as health care reform, our Company's board of directors has a
responsibility to examine the impact of the various national health care
reform proposals on our Company's shareholders, workers, and other
corporate constituencies and disclose those findings to shareholders.  We
believe thorough analysis and timely disclosure prior to entering into
public policy debates helps insure that our Company acts responsibly."

     BOARD OF DIRECTORS' RESPONSE:  The Company's health care reform
position was determined after careful examination of the issues and review
with our Board of Directors.  The Company's position was summarized for
shareholders in PepsiCo's 1993 Annual Report as follows:

     "PepsiCo supports specific reforms that expand access to healthcare,
reform the insurance market for small employers and individuals, and
promote consumer education.  PepsiCo is 

 20

opposed to proposals that replace the competitive marketplace with a 
government-run healthcare system and employer mandates."

     Like most large companies, PepsiCo belongs to a number of trade
associations, many of which took positions on the health debate.  Because
no single association completely represented PepsiCo's point of view, the
Company elaborated on its position in public testimony before Congress,
which included a discussion of the economic impact of national healthcare
reform proposals on the Company, its shareholders, employees, and customers
and the communities in which it does business.  All of this is available to
the public and in fact was covered by the media.  In addition, the Company
has reported its lobbying expenses, in accordance with the law, and these
reports are also publicly available.

     Because our position has been carefully considered and has been made
available to the public, the Company does not see any reason to endorse the
proponent's resolution.  The Company's position is quite mainstream and we
are pleased to note that the key elements of our basic position enjoy
bipartisan support.

     The Board of Directors recommends that shareholders vote AGAINST this
resolution.

                               OTHER MATTERS

     The Board of Directors knows of no other matters to be brought before
the Meeting.  If matters other than the foregoing should arise at the
Meeting, it is intended that the shares represented by proxies will be
voted in accordance with the judgment of the persons named in the proxy.

                            CONFIDENTIAL VOTING

     PepsiCo's policy is that proxies identifying individual shareholders
are private except as necessary to determine compliance with law or assert
or defend legal claims, or in a contested proxy solicitation, or in the
event that a shareholder makes a written comment on a proxy card or an
attachment to it.  PepsiCo retains an independent organization to tabulate
shareholder votes and certify voting results.

                        1996 SHAREHOLDERS' PROPOSALS

     PepsiCo welcomes comments or suggestions from its shareholders,
including any recommendations shareholders may have as to future directors
of the Company.  In the event that a shareholder desires to have a proposal
formally considered at the 1996 Annual Shareholders' Meeting, and included
in the Proxy Statement for that Meeting, the proposal must be received in
writing by PepsiCo on or before November 25, 1995.

                                GENERAL

     The costs relating to this Proxy Statement, the proxy and the Annual
Meeting are being borne by PepsiCo.

 21

     In addition to the solicitation of proxies by mail, PepsiCo intends to
request brokers and bank nominees to solicit proxies from their principals
and will pay such brokers and bank nominees their expenses in that
connection.

     To assure the presence in person or by proxy of the necessary quorum
for holding the meeting, PepsiCo has employed the firm of Georgeson &
Company, Inc. to assist in soliciting proxies by mail, telephone, telegraph
and personal interview for fees estimated at approximately $21,000.

     In addition, employees of PepsiCo (none of whom will receive any
additional compensation therefor) may solicit proxies.

     The Annual Report to Shareholders for 1994, which includes financial
statements, has been mailed with this Proxy Statement or previously
delivered to shareholders and does not form a part of the material for the
solicitation of proxies.  In an effort to reduce postage costs, we have
sent materials at bulk mail rates.  If, upon receipt of your proxy
material, you have not received the Annual Report, please write or call
PepsiCo's Manager of Shareholder Relations, at PepsiCo, Inc., Purchase, NY
10577 or (914) 253-3055.

     Please complete, sign, and date the enclosed proxy card, which is
revocable as described herein, and mail it promptly in the enclosed postage-
paid envelope.

                       By order of the Board of Directors,

                                                      EDWARD V. LAHEY, JR.

                                  APPENDIX

PEPSICO, INC.

                                                        March 28, 1995

Dear Shareholder:

Overall  1994  was  a  good year for PepsiCo.  Sales were  up  14  percent,  and
earnings per share grew 10 percent, excluding unusual items.

Over  the  last  five  years,  PepsiCo's earnings per  share  have  grown  at  a
compounded   annual  rate  of  over  14  percent,  before  accounting   changes.
During  that  time  --  even with our stock performance of  1994  --  our  total
return  to  shareholders  grew  at  a compounded  annual  rate  of  13  percent.
This  means  if  all  dividends were reinvested, an  investment  in  PepsiCo  at
the beginning of 1990 has nearly doubled.

As  proud  as  we  are  of  this record, our eye is  on  the  future,  and  1994
suggests we are well positioned to continue our tradition of strong growth.

Your   proxy   card  is  attached  below.   Please  read  the   enclosed   proxy
statement, then vote and return the card at your earliest convenience.

                                               Sincerely,

                                               WAYNE CALLOWAY
