INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS' REVIEW REPORT


Stockholders and Board of Directors
SUPERVALU INC.
Eden Prairie, Minnesota


We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of SUPERVALU INC.
(the Company) and subsidiaries as of June 15, 1996 and June 17, 1995 and the
related consolidated statements of earnings and cash flows for the 16-week
period then ended, and the consolidated statement of stockholders' equity for
the interim period ended June 15, 1996. These consolidated financial statements
are the responsibility of the Company's management.

We conducted our reviews in accordance with standards established by the
American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of interim
financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures to
financial data and of making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and
accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in
accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, the objective of which is
the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a
whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should
be made to such consolidated financial statements for them to be in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles.

We have previously audited, in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards, the consolidated balance sheet of SUPERVALU INC. and subsidiaries as
of February 24, 1996 and the related consolidated statements of earnings,
stockholders' equity, and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented
herein); and in our report dated April 5, 1996, we expressed an unqualified
opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the
information set forth in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of
February 24, 1996 and the consolidated statement of stockholders' equity for the
year then ended is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the
consolidated financial statements from which it has been derived.
