   Independent Auditors' Report


   The Administrative Committee
   Universal Foods Corporation Retirement
    Employee Stock Ownership Plan
   Milwaukee, Wisconsin   53201

   We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for
   benefits of Universal Foods Corporation Retirement Employee Stock
   Ownership Plan as of September 30, 1995 and 1994, 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, such financial statements present fairly, in all material
   respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan as of
   September 30, 1995 and 1994, and the changes in net assets available for
   benefits for the years then ended, in conformity with generally accepted
   accounting principles.

   Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the
   basic financial statements taken as a whole.  The supplemental schedules
   of assets held for investment purposes and reportable transactions are
   presented for the purpose of additional analysis and are not a required
   part of the basic financial statements but are supplementary information
   required by the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting
   and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. 
   The Fund Information in the supplemental statements of net assets available
   for benefits and the statements of changes in net assets available for 
   benefits 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 plan benefits of each fund.  The supplemental schedules and
   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 material respects in relation to the basic financial 
   statements taken as a whole.

                           UNIVERSAL FOODS CORPORATION
                    RETIREMENT EMPLOYEE STOCK OWNERSHIP PLAN

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                     Years ended September 30, 1995 and 1994


   Note A - Accounting Policies:

     The accounts of the Plan are maintained on an accrual basis.  Assets of
     the Plan are valued at fair value (quoted market price), withdrawal
     value, or contract value.

     Administrative expenses incurred by the Plan are paid by Universal Foods
     Corporation ("the Company") on behalf of the Plan or from Plan assets as
     determined by the Benefits Administrative Committee.

Note B - Description of the Plan:

     The Universal Foods Corporation Retirement Employee Stock Ownership Plan
     was adopted September 8, 1988.  Substantially all domestic employees are
     eligible to participate in the Plan.  The Company makes annual
     contributions to the Plan which range from 6% to 10% of the
     participant's eligible compensation.  The contributions are invested
     primarily in common stock of the Company.  Although participant
     contributions are not permitted under the Plan, eligible participants in
     the Company's terminated defined benefit plans were given the right to
     transfer the value of their pension benefits to the Plan.  Amounts
     transferred were invested as directed by the participants in accordance
     with the Plan and are fully vested.  Company contributions become vested
     after five years of credited service with the Company or upon
     termination due to death or disability.

     Plan assets may be invested in any type of investment that is legally
     permitted for employee retirement plans.  However, the plan assets are
     invested primarily in common stock of the Company.  Participants who are
     35 years or older may elect to have a portion of their account invested
     in the Fixed Income Fund.  Assets of the Fixed Income Fund are invested
     primarily in fixed income mutual funds.

     The Plan may be terminated by the Company at any time.  In the event of
     termination, participants become fully vested.

Note C - Investments

     Investments held which exceeded 5% of net assets available for benefits 
     were as follows:

                                                      Fair Value
                                                    At September 30,

Note D - Income Tax Status:

     The Plan obtained its latest determination letter on April 6, 1990, in
     which the Internal Revenue Service stated that the Plan, as then
     designed, qualifies under Section 401 of the Internal Revenue Code, as
     amended. The Plan administrator and the Plan's tax counsel believe that
     the Plan is currently designed and being operated in compliance with the
     applicable requirements of the Internal Revenue Code, and as such the
     Plan is exempt from Federal income tax, and amounts contributed by
     Universal Foods Corporation are not taxed to the employee until a
     distribution from the Plan is received.  In addition, any shares of
     Universal Foods Corporation common stock distributed to an employee upon
     termination of employment are not taxed to the employee until the time
     of disposition of such shares.

Note E - Benefits Payable:

     As of September 30, 1995 and 1994, the Plan had benefits payable to
     terminated participants of $636,321 and $1,052,290, respectively.

   Independent Auditors' Report


   The Administrative Committee
   Universal Foods Corporation
    Savings Plan
   Milwaukee, Wisconsin   53201

   We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for
   benefits of Universal Foods Corporation Savings Plan as of September 30,
   1995 and 1994, 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, such financial statements present fairly, in all material
   respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan as of
   September 30, 1995 and 1994, and the changes in net assets available for
   benefits for the years then ended, in conformity with generally accepted
   accounting principles.

   Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the
   basic financial statements taken as a whole.  The supplemental schedules
   of assets held for investment purposes and reportable transactions are
   presented for the purpose of additional analysis and are not a required
   part of the basic financial statements but are supplementary information
   required by the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting
   and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. 
   The Fund Information in the supplemental statements of net assets available
   for benefits and the statements of changes in net assets available for 
   benefits 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 plan benefits of each fund.  The supplemental schedules and
   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 material respects in relation to the basic financial 
   statements taken as a whole.

                                  SAVINGS PLAN

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                     Years ended September 30, 1995 and 1994

   Note A - Accounting Policies:

     The accounts of the Plan are maintained on an accrual basis.  Assets of
     the Plan are valued at fair value (quoted market price) or withdrawal
     value.

     Administrative expenses incurred by the Plan are paid by Universal Foods
     Corporation ("the Company") on behalf of the Plan or from Plan assets as
     determined by the Benefits Administrative Committee.

Note B - Description of the Plan:

     Substantially all domestic employees who are not in a collective
     bargaining unit are eligible to participate in the Plan.  Employees can
     contribute up to 10% of their eligible compensation. The Company makes
     matching contributions up to 4% of eligible compensation to those
     employees who are still employed with the Company at September 30.  All
     Company contributions are automatically invested in common stock of the
     Company.  Company contributions vest at 20% per year of credited service
     with the Company or upon termination due to death or disability.

     Plan assets may be invested in any type of investment that is legally
     permitted for employee retirement plans.

     Participant contributions - Upon enrollment or reenrollment, each
     participant shall direct that their contributions be invested in one or
     more of the following investment options in increments of 1% (25% prior
     to April 1, 1994):

     -  Fixed Income Fund:

        Invested in group annuity contracts and a pooled fixed income fund.

     -  Balanced Fund:

     -  Invested in a mutual fund that invests primarily in common stocks,
        preferred stocks and bonds.

     -  Growth Company Fund:

        Invested in a mutual fund that invests primarily in corporate stock 
     and convertible securities.

     -  Over The Counter Fund:

        Invested in a mutual fund that invests primarily in smaller or newer 
     companies than those listed on major exchanges.

     -  Universal Foods Common Stock Fund:

        Invested in Universal Foods Corporation common stock.

     Participants may revise their investment options on October 1, January
     1, April 1 or July 1 of any year.  Prior to April 1, 1994 participants 
     had the option of directing their contributions into an Equity Fund and
     a Government Securities Fund which were discontinued and replaced with
     the Balanced Fund, Growth Company Fund and Over The Counter Fund
     investment options.  Participants were required to transfer any balances
     maintained in either of the discontinued funds to one or a combination
     of the investment options listed above.

     Universal Foods Corporation contributions - The Company matches the
     first 4% of compensation deferred into the Savings Plan.  The Company's
     matching contributions are invested in Company stock.  Amounts which
     have been forfeited in accordance with provisions of the Plan serve to
     reduce Company contributions.

     The Plan allows participants to borrow funds from their account.  All
     loans require approval by the Benefits Administrative Committee. 
     Monthly payroll deductions are required to repay the loan over five
     years, or longer if the loan is used to acquire, construct or
     rehabilitate a principal residence.  Loans bear interest at a rate
     determined by the Administrative Committee.  Loans must be repaid in
     full at the time of retirement or termination.

     The Plan may be terminated by the Company at any time.  In the event of
     termination, participant accounts become fully vested.

Note C - Income Tax Status:

     The Plan obtained its latest determination letter on July 30, 1990, in
     which the Internal Revenue Service stated that the Plan, as then
     designed, qualifies under Section 401 of the Internal Revenue Code, as
     amended.   The Plan administrator and the Plan's tax counsel believe
     that the Plan is currently designed and being operated in compliance
     with the applicable requirements of the Internal Revenue Code, and as
     such the Plan is exempt from Federal income tax, and amounts contributed
     by Universal Foods Corporation are not taxed to the employee until a
     distribution from the Plan is received.

   Note D - Investments:

     During 1995 and 1994 Plan investments, including investments bought and
     sold as well as held during the year, appreciated (depreciated) in value
     as follows:
