                                 _______________

          This Prospectus relates to an offering by the selling shareholders
   listed herein (the "Selling Shareholders") of up to an aggregate of
   187,547 shares of Common Stock, par value $.10 per share ("Common Stock"),
   of Universal Foods Corporation, a Wisconsin corporation (the "Company"),
   representing shares which are or may become issuable upon exercise of
   stock options or other awards previously granted by the Company to the
   Selling Shareholders under the Universal Foods Corporation 1985 Stock Plan
   for Executive Employees (the "Plan").  Each share of Common Stock issued
   will include one right to purchase Common Stock (collectively, the
   "Rights") as hereinafter described.  See "Rights to Purchase Common
   Stock."  Unless the context requires otherwise, all references to Common
   Stock herein shall include the accompanying Rights.  The principal
   executive offices of the Company are located at 433 East Michigan Street,
   Milwaukee, Wisconsin  53202 and its telephone number is (414) 271-6755.

          The Selling Shareholders have advised the Company that the shares
   of Common Stock covered hereby will be offered and sold, from time to
   time, by or for their account in solicited or unsolicited transactions on
   or off the New York Stock Exchange.  Sales will be effected at such prices
   and for such consideration (which need not be cash), as may be obtainable
   and as may be satisfactory to the Selling Shareholder.  The last sale
   price of the Common Stock on the New York Stock Exchange on September 15,
   1995, was $32-7/8 per share.

          The Company does not know of any arrangement or agreement between
   the Selling Shareholders and any underwriter, broker or dealer for the
   offering or sale of the Common Stock offered hereby.  The Company expects
   that the Selling Shareholders will sell the Common Stock through one or
   more registered brokers or dealers and that normal commission expenses and
   brokerage fees will be paid individually by the Selling Shareholders in
   connection with such sales.  All costs, expenses and fees incurred in
   connection with the registration of the Common Stock are being borne by
   the Company, but all selling and other expenses incurred by the Selling
   Shareholders will be paid by the Selling Shareholders.  The Company will
   not receive any of the proceeds from the sales of the Common Stock.

          THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN APPROVED OR DISAPPROVED BY THE
   SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION NOR HAS THE COMMISSION PASSED UPON THE
   ACCURACY OR ADEQUACY OF THIS PROSPECTUS.  ANY REPRESENTATION TO THE
   CONTRARY IS A CRIMINAL OFFENSE.

               The date of this Prospectus is September 28, 1995.

                         RIGHTS TO PURCHASE COMMON STOCK

          On September 8, 1988, the Board of Directors of the Company
   declared a dividend of one Right for each outstanding share of Common
   Stock.  The dividend was paid on September 30, 1988 (the "Record Date") to
   the shareholders of record on that date.  Each Right entitles the holder
   to purchase from the Company one share of Common Stock at a price of $50
   per share of Common Stock (the "Purchase Price"), subject to adjustment. 
   The description and terms of the Rights are set forth in a Rights
   Agreement (the "Rights Agreement") between the Company and Firstar Trust
   Company, as Rights Agent (the "Rights Agent").  The description of the
   Rights contained herein is qualified in its entirety by reference to the
   Rights Agreement.

          As of the date of this Prospectus, the Rights are not exercisable,
   and are transferred with and only with shares of Common Stock.  However,
   the Rights become exercisable (i) ten (10) days following a public
   announcement that a person or group of affiliated or associated persons
   (an "Acquiring Person") has acquired beneficial ownership of twenty
   percent (20%) or more of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, or (ii)
   ten (10) business days (subject to extension by the Board of Directors of
   the Company) following the commencement of, or announcement of an
   intention to make, a tender offer or exchange offer, the consummation of
   which would result in the beneficial ownership by a person or group of
   twenty percent (20%) or more of such outstanding shares of Common Stock
   (the earlier of such dates being called the "Distribution Date").

          The Rights will expire on September 8, 1998 (the "Final Expiration
   Date"), unless the Final Expiration Date is extended or unless the Rights
   are earlier redeemed or exchanged by the Company, in each case as
   described below. So long as the Rights are attached to the shares of
   Common Stock, the Company will issue one Right with each new share of
   Common Stock.

          The Purchase Price payable, and the number of shares of Common
   Stock or other securities or property issuable, upon exercise of the
   Rights are subject to adjustment from time to time to prevent dilution (i)
   in the event of a stock dividend on, or a subdivision, combination or
   reclassification of, the Common Stock, (ii) upon the grant to holders of
   the Common Stock of certain rights or warrants to subscribe for or
   purchase shares of Common Stock at a price, or securities convertible into
   shares of Common Stock with a conversion price, less than the then current
   market price of the Common Stock, or (iii) upon the distribution to
   holders of shares of Common Stock of evidences of indebtedness or assets
   (excluding regular quarterly cash dividends) or of subscription rights or
   warrants (other than those referred to above).

          In the event that the Company is acquired in a merger or other
   business combination transaction or fifty percent (50%) or more of its
   consolidated assets or earnings power are sold, proper provision will be
   made so that each holder of a Right will thereafter have the right to
   receive upon exercise that number of shares of common stock of the
   acquiring company which at the time of such transaction will have a market
   value of two times the exercise price of the Right.  In the event that any
   person becomes an Acquiring Person (unless such person first acquires
   twenty percent (20%) or more of the outstanding shares of Common Stock by
   a purchase pursuant to a tender offer for all of the shares of Common
   Stock for cash, which purchase increases such person's beneficial
   ownership to eighty percent (80%) or more of the outstanding shares of
   Common Stock), proper provision shall be made so that each holder of a
   Right, other than Rights beneficially owned by the Acquiring Person (which
   will thereafter be void), will thereafter have the right to receive upon
   exercise that number of shares of Common Stock having a market value of
   two times the exercise price of the Right.

          At any time after the acquisition by a person or group of
   affiliated or associated persons of beneficial ownership of twenty percent
   (20%) or more of the outstanding shares of Common Stock and prior to the
   acquisition by such person or group of fifty percent (50%) or more of the
   outstanding shares of Common Stock, the Board of Directors of the Company
   may exchange the Rights (other than Rights owned by such person or group
   which have become void), in whole or in part, at an exchange ratio of one
   share of Common Stock per Right (subject to adjustment).

          At any time prior to the acquisition by a person or group of
   affiliated or associated persons of beneficial ownership of twenty percent
   (20%) or more of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, the Board of
   Directors of the Company may redeem the Rights in whole, but not in part,
   at a price of $.01 per Right (the "Redemption Price").  In addition, if a
   bidder who does not beneficially own more than one percent (1%) of the
   Common Stock (subject to certain other conditions) proposes to acquire all
   of the Common Stock (and all other shares of capital stock of the Company
   generally entitled to vote) for cash at a price which a nationally
   recognized investment banker selected by such bidder states in writing is
   fair, and such bidder has obtained written financing commitments (or
   otherwise has financing) and complies with certain procedural
   requirements, then the Company, upon the request of the bidder, will hold
   a special shareholders meeting to vote on a resolution requesting the
   Board of Directors to accept the bidder's proposal.  If a majority of the
   outstanding shares entitled to vote on the proposal vote in favor of such
   resolution, then for a period of sixty (60) days after such meeting the
   Rights will be automatically redeemed at the Redemption Price immediately
   prior to the consummation of any tender offer for all of such shares at a
   price per share in cash equal to or greater than the price offered by such
   bidder; provided, however, that no redemption will be permitted or
   required after the acquisition by any person or group of affiliated or
   associated persons of beneficial ownership of twenty percent (20%) or more
   of the outstanding shares of Common Stock.  Immediately upon any
   redemption of the Rights, the right to exercise the Rights will terminate
   and the only right of the holders of Rights will be to receive the
   Redemption Price.

          The terms of the Rights may be amended by the Board of Directors of
   the Company without the consent of the holders of the Rights, except that
   from and after such time as any person becomes an Acquiring Person no such
   amendment may adversely affect the interests of the holders of the Rights.

          Until a Right is exercised, the holder thereof, as such, will have
   no rights as a shareholder of the Company, including, without limitation,
   the right to vote or to receive dividends.  Although the Rights Plan may
   to some extent discourage a change of control of the Company, the Company
   believes that the benefits of the Rights Plan outweigh any such deterrent
   effects.


                                 USE OF PROCEEDS

          The Company will not receive any proceeds from the sale by the
   Selling Shareholders of the shares of Common Stock offered hereby.  The
   proceeds from the sales of the shares of Common Stock offered hereby shall
   be retained solely by the Selling Shareholders.  See "SELLING
   SHAREHOLDERS" and "PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION."

          or other  awards granted under  the Plan as  of July  31,

                              PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

          The Common Stock offered pursuant to this Prospectus may be sold
   from time to time directly by the Selling Shareholders, so long as the
   Registration Statement of which this Prospectus is a part ("Registration
   Statement") remains effective.  Alternatively, the Selling Shareholders
   may from time to time offer the Common Stock offered hereby for sale
   through underwriters, dealers or agents.  The distribution of the Common
   Stock offered hereby by the Selling Shareholders may be effected from time
   to time, so long as the Registration Statement remains effective, in one
   or more transactions (i) on the New York Stock Exchange, including
   ordinary broker's transactions, (ii) in privately-negotiated transactions,
   or (iii) through sales to one or more brokers/dealers for resale of such
   Common Stock as principals.  Such transactions may be effected at market
   prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to such
   prevailing market prices or at negotiated prices.  Usual and customary or
   specifically negotiated brokerage fees or commissions may be paid by the
   Selling Shareholders in connection with such sales.

          The Company will pay the expenses incident to the registration of
   the Common Stock offered hereby.  Any expenses, commissions or discounts
   of underwriters, dealers or agents, however, will be paid by the Selling
   Shareholders.

                                 INDEMNIFICATION

          Pursuant to the Wisconsin Business Corporation Law and the
   Company's By-Laws, directors and officers of the Company are entitled to
   mandatory indemnification from the Company against certain liabilities and
   expenses (i) to the extent such officers or directors are successful in
   the defense thereof, unless (in the latter case only) it is determined
   that the director or officer breached or failed to perform his duties to
   the Company and such breach or failure constituted:  (a) a willful failure
   to deal fairly with the Company or its shareholders in connection with a
   matter in which the director or officer had a material conflict of
   interest; (b) a violation of the criminal law, unless the director or
   officer had reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was lawful or
   had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful; (c) a
   transaction from which the director or officer derived an improper
   personal profit; or (d) willful misconduct.  It should be noted that the
   Wisconsin Business Corporation Law specifically states that it is the
   public policy of the State of Wisconsin to require or permit
   indemnification in connection with a proceeding involving securities
   regulation, as described therein, to the extent required or permitted as
   described above.  Additionally, under the Wisconsin Business Corporation
   Law, directors of the Company are not subject to personal liability to the
   Company, its shareholders or any person asserting rights on behalf of the
   Company or its shareholders, for certain breaches or failures to perform
   any duty resulting solely from their status as such directors, except in
   circumstances paralleling those in subparagraphs (a) through (d) outlined
   above.

          Expenses for the defense of any action for which indemnification
   may be available may be advanced by the Company under certain
   circumstances.

          The indemnification provided by the Wisconsin Business Corporation
   Law and the Company's By-Laws is not exclusive of any other rights to
   which a director or officer of the Company may be entitled.

          The Company maintains a liability insurance policy for its
   directors and officers as permitted by Wisconsin law, which may extend to,
   among other things, liability arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as
   amended.

                              ____________________

          No dealer, salesman or any other person has been authorized to give
   any information or to make any representations, other than those contained

   upon as having been authorized by the Company or the Selling Shareholder.

   an offer to buy, the securities covered by this Prospectus by the Company
   or the Selling Shareholder in any state to any person to whom it is

   solicitation.  Neither the delivery of this Prospectus nor any sale made
   hereunder shall, under any circumstances, create any implication that
   there has been no change in the facts herein set forth since the date
   hereof.
