REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
---------------------------------
June 10, 1996
To the Participants and
Administrator of the
Dean Foods Company
Investment and Profit Sharing Plan
In our opinion, the accompanying statement of net assets available for
plan benefits and the related statement of changes in net assets
available for plan benefits present fairly, in all material respects,
the financial status of the Dean Foods Company Investment and Profit
Sharing Plan at December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the changes in its
financial status for the year ended December 31, 1995, in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the plan administrator; our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements
based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these statements in
accordance with generally accepted auditing standards which require
that we plan and perform the audits 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,
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made
by the plan administrator, and evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above.
Our audits were performed for the purposes of forming an opinion on the
basic financial statements taken as a whole. The additional
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 but is additional information required by the Department of
Labor's rules and regulations for reporting and disclosure under the
Employee Retirement Security Act of 1974. The fund information in the
footnotes to the financial statements is presented for purposes of
additional analysis rather than to present the net assets available for
plan benefits and changes in net assets available for benefits of each
fund. Schedules I and II and the fund information have been subjected
to the auditing procedures applied in the audits of the basic financial
statements and, in our opinion, are fairly stated in all material
respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a
whole.

DEAN FOODS COMPANY
INVESTMENT AND PROFIT SHARING PLAN
----------------------------------
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
-----------------------------
NOTE 1 - GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN:
The Dean Foods Company Investment and Profit Sharing Plan (the Plan) is a
defined-contribution profit sharing plan that provides retirement benefits to
employees of Dean Foods Company (the Company) who have met certain
length-of-service requirements.
A committee appointed by the Board of Directors of the Company is responsible
for the administration of the Plan. Assets of the Plan are held in trust funds
maintained at The Northern Trust Company (the Trustee).
Participants' contributions are permitted in an amount not to exceed thirteen
percent of their annual compensation. The Company is required to match
participant contributions in an amount equal to twenty-five percent of the
first six percent of elective contributions. In addition, the Company may
elect to make an annual supplemental contribution to the Plan out of its
current or accumulated net profits.
Participants vest immediately in their elective contributions, including any
investment income earned pertaining to such contributions. Participants become
forty percent vested in Company contributions and related earnings after two
years of credited service, with vesting percentages increasing in
twenty-percent increments each subsequent year until participants are fully
vested after five years of credited service. Participants become fully vested
in all accounts upon retirement or after attaining age sixty-five, or upon
termination by reason of death or disability.
Separate accounts are maintained for each participant for Company contributions
and employee elective contributions. Participants direct the investment of all
contributions to established funds in ten percent increments. Plan income is
allocated to each participant's account, based on the relative value of
individual participant accounts to the total of all participants' accounts.
Forfeitures from terminated participants are used to reduce subsequent employer
contributions.
The Company believes that the Plan will continue indefinitely, but reserves the
right to terminate the Plan at any time. In the event of termination of the
Plan, all assets of the Plan would become fully vested with the participants
and would be distributed in accordance with the provisions of the Plan.

<PAGE> 8
NOTE 2 -SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
Basis of accounting
The financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting.
Contributions
Employer matching and profit sharing contributions are recorded in the year
accrued by the Company. Employee contributions are recorded in the year
withheld by the Company from employee payrolls or in the year of occurrence for
a qualified rollover contribution as defined in Section 408(d)(3) of the
Internal Revenue Code. Provisions of the Plan specify that no Company
contributions and a maximum of forty percent of any participant's contributions
may be invested in the Dean Foods stock fund.
Investments
Purchases and sales of securities, including gains and losses on such sales,
are recorded as of the trade date. Realized gains or losses resulting from the
sale of securities are based on the difference between the selling price and
the cost of the securities, cost being determined on a specific identification
basis. In accordance with the policy of stating investments at market value,
the net increase or decrease in the unrealized value of investments for the
year is reflected in the statement of changes in net assets available for plan
benefits.
Market values of investments are based on published market quotations where
available. Investments in collective funds are stated at the year-end unit
values as determined by the Trustee, multiplied by the number of units owned.
Investment income is recorded as earned.
Expenses of the Plan
Trustee fees and other administrative expenses of the Plan are paid by the
Plan. Legal and audit fees associated with the Plan are paid by the Company.
Benefits payable
In accordance with authoritative guidance for accounting and disclosure by
employee benefit plans, participant distributions payable are not presented as
a liability in the statement of net assets or included in benefit payments in
the statement of changes in net assets, resulting in a difference between the
Plan's Form 5500 and the accompanying financial statements. Benefit payment
obligations existing at December 31, 1995 and 1994 were $407,140 and
$1,182,468, respectively.

<PAGE> 9
NOTE 3 - INVESTMENTS:
Effective October 1, 1994, the Plan began offering an international equity fund
and an equity growth fund. These funds are comprised of stocks, bonds and
cash. The balanced fund, equity income fund, international equity fund, equity
growth fund and government fixed fund are managed by Diversified Investment
Advisors, formerly Mutual of New York. These funds hold various securities and
financial instruments under investment guidelines specified by Diversified
Investment Advisors.
The money market fund, guaranteed income fund (GIC), Reiter Dairy Plan fund and
the Florida plan funds are frozen. Beginning on January 1, 1995 the assets in
the money market and GIC funds are being transferred to the government fixed
fund as they mature. The assets in the Reiter Dairy Plan fund and the Florida
Plan fund are being liquidated as they mature. The Mayfield GIC fund merged
into the GIC fund in October 1994.
The Dean Foods stock fund, which is managed by the Trustee, consists of Dean
Foods Company Common Stock ($1 par value).
