Plan Administrator
Envirodyne Industries, Inc. Retirement Savings Plan
Chicago, Illinois

                Independent Auditor's Report

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available
for benefits with fund information of Envirodyne Industries, Inc.
Retirement Savings Plan as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the
related statement of changes in net assets available for benefits
with fund information for the year ended December 31, 1996.  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 the Plan as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the
changes in net assets available for benefits for the year ended
December 31, 1996 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
Schedule of Assets Held for Investment Purposes - item 27(a), Form
5500 and Schedule of Reportable Transactions - item 27(d), Form 5500
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
statements of net assets available for benefits and the statement of
changes in net assets available for benefits are 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 all material respects in relation to the basic
financial statements taken as a whole.

      ENVIRODYNE INDUSTRIES, INC. RETIREMENT SAVINGS PLAN
                 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                  December 31, 1996 and 1995

NOTE 1 - DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN
- --------------------------------

The following description of the Envirodyne Industries, Inc.
Retirement Savings Plan ("the Plan") provides only general
information.  Participants should refer to the Plan agreement for
a more complete description of the Plan's provisions.

General

The Plan is a defined contribution plan established to provide
deferred compensation benefits to eligible employees.  Effective
January 1, 1995, the Plan was changed from a money purchase plan to
a 401(k) plan.   Under the Plan, all of the employees of Envirodyne
Industries, Inc. ("Employer") and its participating subsidiaries
who have met eligibility requirements may elect to participate in
the Plan.  Employees who are covered by a collective bargaining
agreement will be eligible only if their participation is provided
for in the agreement.  The Plan is subject to the provisions of the
Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA).

Participation

Eligible employees may become Plan members on the first day of
January, April, July or October following six months from their
date of hire.

Contributions

Participating employees, by means of authorized payroll deductions,
make contributions to the Plan in amounts based upon a percentage
of their compensation.  These contributions cannot be less than two
percent (2%) nor greater than fifteen percent (15%) of the
participant's compensation.  Employer contributions to the Plan are
made in varying proportions and are based upon the percent of the
participant's contributions and the participant's years of credited
service.  At the discretion of the Employer, there also may be an
employer profit sharing contribution for active participants at the
end of the plan year.

Vesting

Participant contributions plus the earnings thereon are fully
vested.  Vesting in the Employer contributions and the earnings
thereon is based on years of credited service.  A participant is
100% vested after five years of credited service.  If a participant
attains age 65, or becomes permanently and totally disabled, or
dies, the full value of the Employer contribution account becomes
immediately vested and is nonforfeitable.

Allocations

Investment income is allocated based on account balances as defined
by the Plan.

The Employer profit sharing contribution is allocated to
participants based upon their annual compensation as a percentage
of the total annual compensation for all participants.


Allocations (Continued)

Amounts allocated to accounts of persons who have elected to
withdraw from the Plan but have not been paid as of December 31,
1996 and 1995 are $33,932 and $89,418, respectively.

Participant Notes Receivable

Participants may borrow from their fund accounts a maximum equal to
the lesser of $50,000 or 50% of their vested account balance.  All
loans must be repaid within five years.  The loans are secured by
the balance in the participant's account and bear interest at a
rate determined by the plan administrator equal to 1% over the
prime interest rate.  Principal and interest is paid ratably
through payroll deductions.

Payment of Benefits

Distribution of account balance is made in a lump sum payment.

Rollover Contributions

The rollover contributions represent lump sum benefits received by
certain employees from another organization's pension or profit
sharing plan, or from the Envirodyne Employee Thrift Plan.  The
Plan allows a participant to contribute these benefits in 10%
increments to the plan funds.  Rollover contributions are included
in employee contributions in the statement of changes in net assets
available for benefits with fund information. A rollover
contribution is payable upon retirement, termination of employment,
death or disability.


NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
- --------------------------------------------------- 

Use of Estimates in Preparing Financial Statements

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to
make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the
reported amounts of additions and deductions during the reporting
period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Investments

Quoted market prices are used to value investments. Investments are
stated at fair value. Participants' notes receivable are valued at
cost which approximates market value.

Investment transactions are reflected on a trade-date basis. 
Realized gains or losses on sales of securities are based on
revalued cost.  Income from investments is recorded as earned on an
accrual basis.  Cost is determined on an average-cost basis.
Risks and Uncertainties

The Plan provides for various investment options in any combination
of Envirodyne Industries, Inc. common stock and numerous pooled
investment accounts.  Investment securities are exposed to various
risks, such as interest rate, market, and credit risks.  Due to the
level of risk associated with certain investment securities, it is
at least reasonably possible that changes in the values of
investment securities will occur in the near term and that such
changes could materially affect participants' account balances and
the amounts reported in the statement of net assets available for
benefits.

Administrative Expenses

Expenses of the Plan other than brokerage commissions, which are
included in the cost of the investments and loan fees, which are
paid directly by the Plan, are paid by the Employer.  Although the
Employer has elected to pay these expenses, it is not obligated to
do so.  If the Employer ceases to pay all or part of these expenses
in the future, they will be paid by the Plan's trustee out of the
assets of the Plan.

Forfeitures

Forfeitures are recorded as a reduction to the aggregate Employer
contributions in the year they occur.  For the year ended December
31, 1996, forfeitures amounted to $2,567.

Payment of Benefits

Benefits are recorded when paid.


NOTE 3 - INVESTMENT PROGRAM
- ---------------------------

The Plan provides for investment election alternatives allowing
participant contributions to be invested in certain individual
programs as directed by each participant in 10% increments. 
Participants may change their investment elections up to four times
a year as provided in the Plan. Employer contributions are invested
in the same proportion as the participants' contributions.  The

(ii)  Upon the distribution to a participant of his

      calendar year, the total amount distributed, after

      tax as ordinary income in the year of distribution.

(iii) An additional tax equal to 10% of the taxable amount
