DE-REGISTRATION  OF  SHARES

     Ralcorp  Holdings,  Inc.,  previously registered on a Form S-8 Registration
Statement  (No.  333-20879),  the  offering  of up to 2,900,000 shares of Common
Stock  $.01  par  value  ("Common  Stock")  pursuant to the terms of the Ralcorp
Holdings,  Inc.  Incentive  Stock  Plan  (the  "Plan").

     Shareholders of Ralcorp have approved the adoption of the Ralcorp Holdings,
Inc.  2002 Incentive Stock Plan (the "2002 Plan"), which was intended to replace
the  prior  Plan. With the adoption of the 2002 Plan, no new awards have been or
will  be  granted under the prior Plan and the prior Plan remains in effect only
with respect to outstanding awards. Approximately 635,136 shares of Common Stock
registered  on  Registration  No.  333-20879  for  offering under the prior Plan
remain  unsold  or  unreserved  for  outstanding awards. Ralcorp has filed a new
Registration  Statement  for  the  2002 Plan. The shares so remaining under this
Registration  Statement  No.  333-20879 have been carried forward and registered
under  the  new  Registration  Statement.  Consequently,  Ralcorp  is  hereby
de-registering  635,136  shares  of  Common  Stock  registered  pursuant  to
Registration No. 333-20879. All other shares of Common Stock registered pursuant
to  that  Registration  No. 333-20879 that have either been sold or reserved for
outstanding  awards  remain  registered.

     The  Registrant.  Pursuant  to  the  requirements  of the Securities Act of
1933, the Registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it
meets  all  of  the requirements for filing on Form S-8 and has duly caused this
Post-Effective  Amendment  to  be  signed  on  its behalf by the undersigned and

2002.
