</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The ConAgra Foods, Inc. Directors&#146; Deferred Compensation Plan (the &#147;Plan&#148;) provides members of the
Board of Directors (&#147;Directors&#148;) of the Company with the opportunity to defer all or a portion of
their fees earned during a year. The obligations of the Company under the Plan (the &#147;Deferred
Compensation Obligations&#148;) are general unsecured obligations of the Company to pay deferred
compensation in the future to participating Directors (&#147;Participants&#148;) in accordance with the terms
of the Plan from the general assets of the Company and will rank pari passu with other unsecured
and unsubordinated indebtedness of the Company from time to time outstanding. A Director may elect
to defer fees that would otherwise have been paid in cash (&#147;Cash Fees&#148;) to (i)&nbsp;an interest bearing
account; (ii)&nbsp;a Company Common Stock Account (the &#147;Stock Account&#148;), or (iii)&nbsp;to any other
investments that track investments that are permitted by the Company&#146;s Employee Benefits Investment
Committee (the &#147;Other Investments Account&#148;). Deferrals of fees that would otherwise have been paid
in shares of the Company&#146;s Common Stock (&#147;Stock Fees&#148;) are credited to the Stock Account. All
accounts are maintained as an accounting record of the Company&#146;s obligation under the Plan.
Amounts credited to the Stock Account are a book entry by the Company payable in shares of the
Company&#146;s Common Stock. The Deferred Compensation Obligations include compensation deferred by
Participants and investment earnings (or losses) thereon. Amounts credited to a Participant&#146;s interest-bearing account or Other
Investments

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Account will be paid in cash. The aggregate number of shares of the Company&#146;s Common
Stock credited to a Participant&#146;s Stock Account will be paid in shares of the Company&#146;s Common
Stock, which have been separately registered pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-8
related to the ConAgra Foods 2009 Stock Plan filed with the Commission on September&nbsp;25, 2009.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The Company maintains bookkeeping accounts to which Participants&#146; deferrals are credited. Deferred
compensation (adjusted for deemed investment returns) is generally distributed when the Director
ceases to be a Director. Participants may also request an early distribution of deferred
compensation in the event of an unforeseeable emergency.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Participants may elect that their Plan benefits be distributed in a lump sum or in annual or
semi-annual installments over a period of up to ten years.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">No amount payable or deliverable under the Plan will be subject to anticipation, assignment,
transfer, sale, mortgage, pledge or hypothecation. The plan administrator will not recognize any
attempt by a third party to attach, garnish or levy upon any benefit under the Plan except as may
be required by law. There is no trading market for the Deferred Compensation Obligations.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The Deferred Compensation Obligations are not subject to redemption, in whole or in part, prior to
the individual payment dates specified by each Participant, at the option of the Company or through
operation of a mandatory or optional sinking fund or analogous provision, except in the case of the
Participant&#146;s death. However, the Company reserves the right to amend or terminate the Plan at any
time, except that no such amendment or termination shall affect the obligation or schedule of the
Company to pay to the Participants the amounts accrued or credited to their accounts up to December
31st of the year in which the amendment or termination is made or cause the Plan to violate Section
409A of the Internal Revenue Code.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The total amount of the Deferred Compensation Obligations is not determinable because the amount
will vary depending upon the level of participation by Directors and the amounts of their fees. The
duration of the Plan is indefinite.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The Deferred Compensation Obligations are not convertible into another security of the Company. The
Deferred Compensation Obligations will not have the benefit of a negative pledge or any other
affirmative or negative covenant on the part of the Company. Each Participant will be responsible
for acting independently with respect to, among other things, the giving of notices, responding to
any requests for consents, waivers or amendments pertaining to the Deferred Compensation
Obligations, enforcing covenants and taking action upon a default by the Company.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The foregoing description of the Deferred Compensation Obligations is qualified in its entirety by
reference to the full text of the Plan document a copy of which is incorporated by reference as

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">extent required, and may, to the extent permitted, by Section&nbsp;102 and 145 of the General
Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, as amended from time to time, indemnify and reimburse all
persons whom it may indemnify and reimburse pursuant thereto. No director shall be liable to the
Company or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director. A
director shall continue to be liable for (1)&nbsp;any breach of a director&#146;s duty of loyalty to the
Company or its stockholders; (2)&nbsp;acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional
misconduct or a knowing violation of law; (3)&nbsp;paying a dividend or approving a stock repurchase
which would violate Section&nbsp;174 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware; or (4)&nbsp;any
transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The by-laws of the Company provide for indemnification of Company officers and directors
against all expenses, liability or losses reasonably incurred or suffered by the officer or
director, including liability arising under the Securities Act of 1933, to the extent legally
permissible under Section&nbsp;145 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware where any
such person was, is, or is threatened to be made a party to or is involved in any action, suit or
proceeding whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact such
person was serving the Company in such capacity. Generally, under Delaware law, indemnification
will only be available where an officer or director can establish that such person acted in good
faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the
Company. The by-laws of the Company limit the indemnification provided to a Company officer or
director in connection with actions, suits, or proceedings commenced by the Company officer or
director to instances where the commencement of the proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by
the Board of Directors of the Company.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Company also maintains a director and officer insurance policy which insures the officers
and directors of the Company and its subsidiaries against damages, judgments, settlements and costs
incurred by reason of certain wrongful acts committed by such persons in their capacities as
officers and directors.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 4%">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) to include any prospectus required by Section&nbsp;10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;

date of the Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment
thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the
information set forth in the Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of
securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from
the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the
form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the
aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20&nbsp;percent change in
the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the &#147;Calculation of Registration Fee&#148;
table in the effective Registration Statement;
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 4%">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) to include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution
not previously disclosed in the Registration Statement or any material change to such

or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in the Registration

such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating
to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall
be deemed to be the initial <I>bona fide </I>offering thereof.

Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee
benefit plan&#146;s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is

permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the
foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the
Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and
is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such
liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a
director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any
action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in
connection with
the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of
its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of
appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public
policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of
such issue.

PART I
INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE SECTION 10(a) PROSPECTUS
As permitted by the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission"), the
information specified in Part I has been omitted from this Registration Statement.
PART II
INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT
Item 3. Incorporation of Documents by Reference.
The Company hereby incorporates by reference in this Registration Statement the following
documents previously filed with the Commission:
(a)
The Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2009; and
(b)
The Company's Current Reports on Form 8-K filed with the Commission on June 18,
2009, July 20, 2009 and August 5, 2009.
All documents subsequently filed by the Company pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 and
15(d) of the Exchange Act, prior to the filing of a post-effective amendment which indicates that
all securities offered have been sold or which deregisters all securities then remaining unsold,
shall be deemed to be incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement and to be a part
thereof from the date of filing of such documents. Any statement contained in a document
incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement shall be
deemed to be modified or superseded for purposes of this Registration Statement to the extent that
a statement contained herein or in any other subsequently filed document which also is or is deemed
to be incorporated by reference herein modifies or supersedes such statements. Any such statement
so modified or superseded shall not be deemed, except as so modified or superseded, to constitute a
part of this Registration Statement.
Item 4. Description of Securities.
The ConAgra Foods, Inc. Directors' Deferred Compensation Plan (the "Plan") provides members of the
Board of Directors ("Directors") of the Company with the opportunity to defer all or a portion of
their fees earned during a year. The obligations of the Company under the Plan (the "Deferred
Compensation Obligations") are general unsecured obligations of the Company to pay deferred
compensation in the future to participating Directors ("Participants") in accordance with the terms
of the Plan from the general assets of the Company and will rank pari passu with other unsecured
and unsubordinated indebtedness of the Company from time to time outstanding. A Director may elect
to defer fees that would otherwise have been paid in cash ("Cash Fees") to (i) an interest bearing
account; (ii) a Company Common Stock Account (the "Stock Account"), or (iii) to any other
investments that track investments that are permitted by the Company's Employee Benefits Investment
Committee (the "Other Investments Account"). Deferrals of fees that would otherwise have been paid
in shares of the Company's Common Stock ("Stock Fees") are credited to the Stock Account. All
accounts are maintained as an accounting record of the Company's obligation under the Plan.
Amounts credited to the Stock Account are a book entry by the Company payable in shares of the
Company's Common Stock. The Deferred Compensation Obligations include compensation deferred by
Participants and investment earnings (or losses) thereon. Amounts credited to a Participant's interest-bearing account or Other
Investments
Account will be paid in cash. The aggregate number of shares of the Company's Common
Stock credited to a Participant's Stock Account will be paid in shares of the Company's Common
Stock, which have been separately registered pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-8
related to the ConAgra Foods 2009 Stock Plan filed with the Commission on September 25, 2009.
The Company maintains bookkeeping accounts to which Participants' deferrals are credited. Deferred
compensation (adjusted for deemed investment returns) is generally distributed when the Director
ceases to be a Director. Participants may also request an early distribution of deferred
compensation in the event of an unforeseeable emergency.
Participants may elect that their Plan benefits be distributed in a lump sum or in annual or
semi-annual installments over a period of up to ten years.
No amount payable or deliverable under the Plan will be subject to anticipation, assignment,
transfer, sale, mortgage, pledge or hypothecation. The plan administrator will not recognize any
attempt by a third party to attach, garnish or levy upon any benefit under the Plan except as may
be required by law. There is no trading market for the Deferred Compensation Obligations.
The Deferred Compensation Obligations are not subject to redemption, in whole or in part, prior to
the individual payment dates specified by each Participant, at the option of the Company or through
operation of a mandatory or optional sinking fund or analogous provision, except in the case of the
Participant's death. However, the Company reserves the right to amend or terminate the Plan at any
time, except that no such amendment or termination shall affect the obligation or schedule of the
Company to pay to the Participants the amounts accrued or credited to their accounts up to December
31st of the year in which the amendment or termination is made or cause the Plan to violate Section
409A of the Internal Revenue Code.
The total amount of the Deferred Compensation Obligations is not determinable because the amount
will vary depending upon the level of participation by Directors and the amounts of their fees. The
duration of the Plan is indefinite.
The Deferred Compensation Obligations are not convertible into another security of the Company. The
Deferred Compensation Obligations will not have the benefit of a negative pledge or any other
affirmative or negative covenant on the part of the Company. Each Participant will be responsible
for acting independently with respect to, among other things, the giving of notices, responding to
any requests for consents, waivers or amendments pertaining to the Deferred Compensation
Obligations, enforcing covenants and taking action upon a default by the Company.
The foregoing description of the Deferred Compensation Obligations is qualified in its entirety by
reference to the full text of the Plan document a copy of which is incorporated by reference as
Exhibit 4.3 to this Registration Statement.
Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
The legality of the Deferred Compensation Obligations being offered by this Registration Statement
has been passed upon for the Company by Colleen Batcheler, Senior Vice President, General Counsel
and Corporate Secretary. As of September 24, 2009, Ms. Batcheler held 2,742 shares of Common Stock
and had been granted options to purchase another 208,000 shares of Common Stock and share
equivalent units representing 10,600 shares of Common Stock.
Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Pursuant to Article V of the Certificate of Incorporation of the Company, the Company shall,
to the
extent required, and may, to the extent permitted, by Section 102 and 145 of the General
Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, as amended from time to time, indemnify and reimburse all
persons whom it may indemnify and reimburse pursuant thereto. No director shall be liable to the
Company or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director. A
director shall continue to be liable for (1) any breach of a director's duty of loyalty to the
Company or its stockholders; (2) acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional
misconduct or a knowing violation of law; (3) paying a dividend or approving a stock repurchase
which would violate Section 174 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware; or (4) any
transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.
The by-laws of the Company provide for indemnification of Company officers and directors
against all expenses, liability or losses reasonably incurred or suffered by the officer or
director, including liability arising under the Securities Act of 1933, to the extent legally
permissible under Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware where any
such person was, is, or is threatened to be made a party to or is involved in any action, suit or
proceeding whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact such
person was serving the Company in such capacity. Generally, under Delaware law, indemnification
will only be available where an officer or director can establish that such person acted in good
faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the
Company. The by-laws of the Company limit the indemnification provided to a Company officer or
director in connection with actions, suits, or proceedings commenced by the Company officer or
director to instances where the commencement of the proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by
the Board of Directors of the Company.
The Company also maintains a director and officer insurance policy which insures the officers
and directors of the Company and its subsidiaries against damages, judgments, settlements and costs
incurred by reason of certain wrongful acts committed by such persons in their capacities as
officers and directors.

Item 9.
Undertakings.
(a) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a
post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:
(i) to include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;
(ii) to reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective
date of the Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment
thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the
information set forth in the Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of
securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from
the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the
form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the
aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20 percent change in
the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee"
table in the effective Registration Statement;
(iii) to include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution
not previously disclosed in the Registration Statement or any material change to such
information in the Registration Statement;
Provided, however,
that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if the information
required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in
reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13
or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in the Registration
Statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each
such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating
to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall
be deemed to be the initial
bona fide
offering thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the
securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
(b) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any
liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the Registrant's annual report pursuant to
Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee
benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is
incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new
registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such
securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial
bona fide
offering thereof.
(h) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be
permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the
foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the
Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and
is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such
liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a
director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any
action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in
connection with
the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of
its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of
appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public
policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of
such issue.
