                                Re:     Senior Note Exchange Offer

Ladies and Gentlemen:

        Reference is made to your Registration Statement on Form S-4 to be filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission today with respect to $355,000,000
aggregate principal amount of 10 1/8 Senior Notes due 2008 (the "Securities").
The Securities will be unconditionally guaranteed (the "Guarantees") by the
Guarantors (as hereafter defined). The Securities and the Guarantees will be
issued under an indenture (the "Indenture") dated as of March 15, 2001, among
Fleming Companies, Inc. (the "Company"), the Guarantors identified therein (the
"Guarantors"), and Bankers Trust Company, as Trustee.

        We have examined your corporate records and made such other
investigations as we deemed appropriate for the purpose of this opinion.

        Based upon the foregoing, we are of the opinion that:

        1. The Company has been duly incorporated and is validly existing and in
good standing under the laws of Oklahoma. Each Guarantor, other than Richmar
Foods, Inc., as to which no opinion is given (each Guarantor other than Richmar
Foods, Inc. is referred to as a "Non-California Guarantor") has been duly
incorporated or formed (in the case of Non-California Guarantors that are not
corporations) and is validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its
jurisdiction of formation.

        2. The Indenture has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the
Company and each of the Non-California Guarantors.

        3. The Securities have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate
action of the Company, and when executed, authenticated and delivered by or on
behalf of the Company against payment therefor in accordance with the terms of
the Indenture, will constitute legally valid and binding obligations of the
Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms.

        4. Each of the Guarantees has been duly authorized by all necessary
corporate, partnership or limited liability company action of the respective
Non-California Guarantor, and when executed in accordance with the terms of the
Indenture and upon due execution,

                                                                             -2-

authentication and delivery of the Securities and upon payment therefor, will be
the legally valid and binding obligation of the respective Non-California
Guarantor, enforceable against such Non-California Guarantor in accordance with
its terms.

        We hereby consent to the inclusion of this opinion as an exhibit to the
above mentioned Registration Statement.


                                            Very Truly Yours,


                                            /s/ McAFEE & TAFT
