Statement  Under Oath of Principal  Executive  Officer and  Principal  Financial
Officer Regarding Facts and Circumstances Relating to Exchange Act Filings

I, Bruce Rohde,  Chairman and Chief  Executive  Officer of ConAgra Foods,  Inc.,
state and attest that:

(1)  To the best of my knowledge,  based upon a review of the covered reports of
     ConAgra  Foods,  Inc.,  and,  except  as  corrected  or  supplemented  in a
     subsequent covered report:

o    no covered  report  contained an untrue  statement of a material fact as of
     the end of the period covered by such report (or in the case of a report on
     Form  8-K or  definitive  proxy  materials,  as of the date on which it was
     filed); and

o    no covered  report  omitted to state a material fact  necessary to make the
     statements in the covered report, in light of the circumstances under which
     they were made,  not misleading as of the end of the period covered by such
     report  (or in the  case  of a  report  on  Form  8-K or  definitive  proxy
     materials, as of the date on which it was filed).

(2)  I have reviewed the contents of this  statement  with the  Company's  audit
     committee.

(3)  In this statement under oath, each of the following,  if filed on or before
     the date of this statement, is a "covered report":

o    Annual  Report  on Form 10-K for the  fiscal  year  ended  May 26,  2002 of
     ConAgra Foods, Inc.;

o    all reports on Form 10-Q, all reports on Form 8-K and all definitive  proxy
     materials of ConAgra Foods,  Inc.  filed with the Commission  subsequent to
     the filing of the Form 10-K identified above; and

o    any amendments to any of the foregoing.

                                               Subscribed and sworn to before me
                                               this 23rd day of August 2002.
