                                SECOND AMENDMENT

                  SECOND AMENDMENT (this "Amendment"), dated as of June 15,
2001, among FLOWERS FOODS, INC., a Georgia corporation (the "Borrower"), the
Lenders party to the Credit Agreement referred to below (the "Lenders"),
SUNTRUST BANK, as syndication agent (the "Syndication Agent"), and BANKERS TRUST
COMPANY, as administrative agent (the "Administrative Agent" and, together with
the Syndication Agent, the "Agents" and each, an "Agent"). All capitalized terms
used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings
provided such terms in the Credit Agreement referred to below.

                              W I T N E S S E T H:

                  WHEREAS, the Borrower, the Lenders and the Agents are parties
to the Credit Agreement, dated as of March 26, 2001 (as amended, modified,
restated and/or supplemented through, but not including, the date hereof, the
"Credit Agreement");

                  WHEREAS, the Borrower has requested, and the Agents and the
Lenders have agreed to, the amendments and waivers provided herein on the terms
and conditions set forth herein;

                  NOW, THEREFORE, it is agreed:

                  1.       Section 11 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended
by amending the definition of "Test Period" appearing therein by (i) deleting
the first reference to "April 1, 2002" appearing therein and inserting a
reference to "July 1, 2002" in lieu thereof and (ii) deleting the first
reference to "March 31, 2001" appearing therein and inserting a reference to
"June 30, 2001" in lieu thereof.

                  2.       This Amendment is limited as specified and shall not
constitute a modification, acceptance or waiver of any other provision of the
Credit Agreement or any other Credit Document.

                  3.       This Amendment may be executed in any number of
counterparts and by the different parties hereto on separate counterparts, each
of which counterparts when executed and delivered shall be an original, but all
of which shall together constitute one and the same instrument. A complete set
of counterparts shall be lodged with the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.

                  4.       THIS AMENDMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE
PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAW
OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

                  5.       This Amendment shall become effective on the date
(the "Second Amendment Effective Date") when the Borrower and the Required
Lenders shall have signed a

   2

counterpart hereof (whether the same or different counterparts) and shall have
delivered (including by way of facsimile transmission) the same to the
Administrative Agent at the Notice Office.

                  6.       In order to induce the Lenders to enter into this
Amendment, the Borrower hereby represents and warrants that (i) no Default or
Event of Default exists as of the Second Amendment Effective Date, after giving
effect to this Amendment, and (ii) on the Second Amendment Effective Date, after
giving effect to this Amendment, all representations and warranties contained in
the Credit Agreement and in the other Credit Documents are true and correct in
all material respects (it being understood and agreed that any representation or
warranty which by its terms is made as of a specified date shall be true and
correct in all material respects only as of such specified date).

                  7.       From and after the Second Amendment Effective Date,
all references in the Credit Agreement and each of the Credit Documents to the
Credit Agreement shall be deemed to be references to the Credit Agreement as
modified hereby. This Amendment shall constitute a Credit Document for all
purposes under the Credit Agreement and the other Credit Documents.

                                      * * *

counterpart of this Amendment to be duly executed and delivered as of the date
first above written.
