                          INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT


The Pension and Welfare Committee
CPC International Inc.
  Savings/Retirement Plan for Salaried Employees:


We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for
benefits of CPC International Inc. Savings/Retirement Plan for Salaried
Employees as of December 31, 1994 and 1993, and the related statements of
changes in net assets available for benefits for the years then ended.  These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan's management.  Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of CPC
International Inc. Savings/Retirement Plan for Salaried Employees as of
December 31, 1994 and 1993, and the changes in net assets available for
benefits for the years then ended in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.

Our audits were made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole.  The supplementary information included
in Schedules I and II is presented for purposes of additional analysis and is
not a required part of the basic financial statements.  Such information has
been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audits of the basic
financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material
respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

                          SAVINGS/RETIREMENT PLAN FOR
                               SALARIED EMPLOYEES

(1)      DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN

         The following is a brief description of the CPC International Inc.
         Savings/Retirement Plan for Salaried Employees (the "Plan").
         Participants should refer to the Plan document for a more complete
         description of the Plan's provisions.

         GENERAL

         The Plan is a defined contribution plan covering eligible salaried
         employees of CPC International Inc. (the "Company").  The Plan allows
         employees to set aside part of their compensation for retirement.  The
         Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income
         Security Act of 1974 ("ERISA").

         CONTRIBUTIONS AND VESTING

         Participants may contribute up to 12% of their compensation and may
         invest in any one or combination of eight funds.  Participants may
         change their investment elections daily.  Employees are immediately
         vested in their contributions and the earnings thereon.

         Participants may make deferred contributions to the Plan in accordance
         with Internal Revenue Service Code Section 401(k).  These
         contributions result in a reduced salary for the employees for Federal
         Income Tax purposes.  In accordance with the Tax Reform Act of 1986,
         the maximum amount an employee can contribute under the 401(k) for
         1994 is $9,240.

         Company contributions are based on the semiannual repayment of the
         Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) note and the dividends available.
         The Company also makes a special year-end contribution of Company ESOP
         stock with a value equal to $100.  Shares of convertible preferred
         stock are allocated semiannually to participants accounts based on the
         percentage of debt repaid.  Prior to 1990, Company contributions were
         a percentage match of participants' contributions.  All employer
         contributions, prior to 1990, were deposited into the Variable
         Interest Fund.  Fees of the Trustee and investment managers are paid
         by the Company.

         PARTICIPANT ACCOUNTS

         Individual account balances are maintained for each participant.
         Contributions are credited to the participant's account based upon the
         current share price or, in the case of the CPC International Stock
         Fund, the current value.

         Prior to June 30, 1994, contributions were credited to the
         participant's account based upon the current unit value.  A unit
         represents a share in the market value of a fund and includes all
         investment activity.


                                                                     (Continued)

                         Notes to Financial Statements

         DISTRIBUTION OF BENEFITS

         Distribution of benefits will be made to a participant upon
         retirement, disability, death or termination of employment.
         Distributions to participants or beneficiaries will be in the form of
         lump-sum distributions.  Participants who retire or become disabled
         also have an annuity option available.

         Participants in the CPC International Stock Fund or the ESOP account
         may elect to receive payments in full shares of common stock plus cash
         for any fractional shares.

         LOANS TO PARTICIPANTS

         Participants may borrow from their fund accounts a minimum of $1,000
         up to the lessor of $50,000 or 50% of their account balance.  Loan
         transactions are treated as a transfer between the investment funds
         and the loan fund.

         The loans bear interest at the prime rate plus one percent at the time
         of the loan.  Loans are repaid through semi-monthly payroll deductions
         and are reinvested into the participant's account according to the
         current investment election.

         PLAN AMENDMENT OR TERMINATION

         Although it has not expressed any intention to do so, the Company has
         reserved the right to amend, modify or terminate the Plan at any time,
         subject to the Plan document and applicable laws and regulations.


(2)      SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

         VALUATION OF INVESTMENTS

         The mutual funds and the investment in the Company's common stock are
         stated at fair market value determined by quoted market prices at the
         close of business on December 31.  Cost of securities sold is
         determined by the "average cost" method.  The Plan's investments in
         Group Annuity Contracts are valued at contract value.   Contract value
         represents contributions made under contract plus interest at the
         contract rate, less funds used for benefit payments.  Purchases and
         sales of securities are recorded on a trade-date basis.

         FORFEITURES

         The value of company units in the Variable Interest Fund or the ESOP
         which are forfeited due to termination of service are used to reduce
         the amount of Company contributions.


                                                                     (Continued)

         BENEFITS PAYABLE

         In 1994, the Plan changed its method of accounting to disclose
         benefits payable to participants who have withdrawn from the Plan in
         the notes to the financial statements rather than as a recorded
         liability of the Plan.  These amounts as of December 31, 1993 have
         been reclassified to net assets available for benefits.  As of
         December 31, 1993, benefits of $2,464,922 were due to participants who
         had withdrawn from participation in the Plan.  Due to the
         establishment of daily valuations, there were no benefits due to
         participants as of December 31, 1994.


(3)      INVESTMENT PROGRAM

         The Plan provides for nine separate investment funds, each with a
         primary investment plan (except for amounts temporarily held pending
         investment and amounts held for disbursement), as follows:

         (a)  CPC International Stock Fund - invested solely in CPC
              International Inc. common stock.

         (b)  Variable Interest Fund - invested in investment contracts issued
              by insurance companies and banks.  The issuer pays interest at a
              specified rate for the life of the contract.

         (c)  Employee Stock Ownership Plan - invested solely in CPC
              International Inc. Series A ESOP convertible preferred stock.
              Only Company contributions are made to the ESOP.

         (d)  Fidelity Growth & Income Portfolio - seeks long-term capital
              growth, current income, and growth of income by investing in
              equity securities (including common and preferred stocks),
              convertible securities, bonds, futures and options.

         (e)  Fidelity U.S. Equity Index Portfolio - seeks to achieve a total
              return comparable to the total return of the S&P 500 by investing
              in the common stocks that make up the S&P 500 Index.

         (f)  Fidelity Contrafund - seeks long-term capital appreciation by
              investing primarily in common stock and securities convertible
              into common stock.

                                                                     (Continued)

                         Notes to Financial Statements

         (g)    Fidelity Magellan Fund - seeks capital appreciation by investing
                primarily in common stock and securities convertible into common
                stock of domestic and foreign companies.

         (h)    Fidelity Overseas Fund - seeks long-term growth of capital
                through investment in common stock, securities convertible to
                common stock and debt instruments of foreign businesses and
                governments.

         (i)    Fidelity Asset Manager - seeks a high total return by investing
                in domestic and foreign stocks, bonds and short-term
                instruments.

         Effective June 30, 1994, all of the securities in the Diversified
         Common Stock Fund (DCSF) were sold.  All funds and participant account
         balances were transferred to the Fidelity Growth and Income Portfolio.


(4)      INCOME TAX STATUS

         The Internal Revenue Service has determined and informed the Company
         by a letter dated January 14, 1994, that the Plan is designed in
         accordance with applicable sections of the Internal Revenue Code
         ("IRC").  Since receiving the favorable tax determination letter, the
         Plan has been amended.  The Plan's tax counsel believes that the Plan
         is designed and is currently being operated in compliance with the
         applicable requirements of the IRC.


(5)      EMPLOYEE STOCK OWNERSHIP PLAN ("ESOP")

         Effective December 1989, the Company established an Employee Stock
         Ownership Plan ("ESOP") which originally purchased 2,241,901 shares of
         CPC International Inc. Series A ESOP convertible preferred stock with
         proceeds from a $200,000,000 borrowing which is guaranteed by the
         Company.  The Plan is required to make the following principal
         payments:  1995 - $12,300,000; 1996 - $14,020,000; 1997 - $15,720,000;
         1998 - $17,360,000; 1999 - $19,040,000 and $94,360,000 thereafter.

         Company contributions, plus dividends on the shares held by the ESOP,
         are expected to be used to meet interest and principal payments on the
         borrowing over a 15-year term.  As loan payments are made, shares of
         preferred stock acquired with loan proceeds will be allocated to
         eligible employees.

         The preferred stock is convertible into approximately 4.4 million
         shares of the Company's common stock.  The preferred stock pays an
         annual dividend of $7.14 per share.


                                                                     (Continued)

(6)      PLAN AMENDMENTS

         Effective July 1, 1994, the following changes were made to the Plan:

             (a)   Fidelity Management Trust Company became the Trustee,
             (b)   Six mutual funds were offered as additional investment
                   options, and
             (c)   Fidelity Investments became Manager of the Variable Interest
                   Fund.

         In April 1994, Fidelity Investments was named Manager for the
         Diversified Common Stock Fund.

         Effective April 30, 1993, the Company sold the assets of the facility
         in Warminster, Pennsylvania.  Any participant whose employment was
         terminated as a result of the sale was entitled to a 100%
         nonforfeitable right to his or her Company units and ESOP units
         regardless of whether he or she had completed three years of service.

         Effective January 1, 1993, the Plan was restated to establish a loan
         program for participants.  The maximum amount a participant may borrow
         is the lesser of 50% of his vested interest under the Plan, or $50,000
         reduced by the highest outstanding loan balance during the preceding
         one-year period.  The interest rate for loans is based on the prime
         rate plus 1%.

         If the proceeds of the loan are used to purchase a residence, the loan
         can be for a period of up to 15 years.  If loan proceeds are used for
         any other purpose, the maximum loan term is five years.
