This Amendment No. 2 (this "Statement") amends the Schedule 14D-1 filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 14, 1998 by Authentic
Acquisition Corporation, a Texas corporation ("Purchaser") and a wholly owned
subsidiary of Authentic Acquisition Corporation, a Delaware corporation ("AAC
Delaware") and a wholly owned subsidiary of Agrobios, S.A. de C.V. ("Parent"), a
corporation organized under the laws of the United Mexican States ("Mexico") and
a wholly owned subsidiary of Desc, S.A. de C.V., a corporation organized under
the laws of Mexico ("Desc"), as amended by the Amendment No. 1 filed on May 29,
1998 (as amended, the Schedule 14D1). This Statement relates to the offer by
Purchaser to purchase all of the outstanding shares of common stock, par value
$1.00 per share (the "Shares"), of Authentic Specialty Foods, Inc., a Texas
corporation (the "Company"), at $17.00 per Share, net to the seller in cash,
without interest, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the
Offer to Purchase dated May 14,

<PAGE>
1998 (the "Offer to Purchase"), a copy of which has been filed as Exhibit 99.1
to the Schedule 14D-1, and in the related Letter of Transmittal, a copy of which
has been filed as Exhibit 99.2 to the Schedule 14D-1 (which together constitute
the "Offer"). Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meanings
given to them in the Offer to Purchase.
The following item is amended as follows:
ITEM 9. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF CERTAIN BIDDERS.
Item 9 is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:
Desc, Parent, AAC Delaware and Purchaser have not included financial
statements in this Item, as the Offer to Purchase states, Purchaser will obtain
the funds needed to consummate the Offer by capital contributions and/or loans
from Desc, through Parent and AAC Delaware, and Desc has the necessary funds
available. Accordingly, the persons filing this Statement believe their
consolidated financial condition is not material to a decision by a security
holder of the Shares as to whether to sell, tender or hold Shares being
purchased in the Offer. Desc has sufficient resources to fund the aggregate
offer consideration and offer expenses and has agreed with the Company to
provide the necessary amounts to Purchaser, indirectly through Parent and AAC
Delaware.
