ITEM 4.    PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION.

     Purpose or purposes of acquisitions.  The Reporting Person has acquired

Corporation, a Delaware corporation ("Purchaser"), IHF/GM Holding Corporation,
a Delaware corporation ("Parent"), and International Home Foods, Inc. ("IHF"),

"Offer"), to purchase all outstanding shares of the Issuer's Common Stock,
including the associated rights to purchase shares of Common Stock issued

together with the Common Stock, the "Shares"), at a purchase price of $14.50
per Share.

     Concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement, the Reporting
Person entered into a Stockholder Agreement, dated March 10, 1998 (the

Stockholder Agreement, the Reporting Person has:  (i) agreed to tender into the
Offer an aggregate of 403,899 Shares, (ii) granted to Purchaser an option
(exercisable under certain circumstances as provided in the Stockholder
Agreement) to purchase up to an aggregate of 245,000 shares of Common Stock,
consisting of certain shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the
Reporting Person as a result of the exercise of certain stock options, and
(iii) granted to Parent an irrevocable proxy to vote such shares of Common
Stock, in each event, prior to any termination of the Merger Agreement.  The
Reporting Person has tendered an aggregate of 403,899 Shares into the Offer.

     Additional information regarding the transaction, including copies of the
Merger Agreement and the Stockholder Agreement, is available in the Offer to
