                   BARGAINING UNIT EMPLOYEES SAVINGS PLAN

                        Notes to Financial Statements


(1) Plan Description:

    The following description of the H. J. Heinz Company ("Company") Bargaining
    Unit Employees Savings Plan ("Plan") provides only general information.
    Participants should refer to the Plan document for a more complete
    description of the Plan's Provisions.

      General

    The Plan is a defined contribution plan for the benefit of employees whose
    collective bargaining representatives have negotiated for coverage
    thereunder.  It is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement
    Income Security Act of 1974 ("ERISA").

    The administration of the Plan and the responsibility for interpreting and
    carrying out its provisions is vested in the Employee Benefits
    Administration Board ("Committee"). The Committee consists of members
    appointed by the Board of Directors upon the recommendation of the
    Investment Committee of the Board of Directors. The members of the
    Committee are not compensated for serving on the Committee.

      Contributions

    Participant contributions to the Plan may be either tax deferred or after
    tax. The participant's maximum tax deferred and after tax contribution may
    not exceed 12% and 10%, respectively, of his earnings. The total of a
    participant's tax deferred plus after tax contributions may not exceed 12%
    of his earnings. A participant may make contributions in whole percentages
    of not less than 1% of his earnings.

    Tax deferred contributions on behalf of certain highly compensated
    participants may be limited under the rules of the Internal Revenue Code
    of 1986, as amended ("Code"). Tax deferred contributions by any
    participant under the Plan and any other qualified cash or deferred
    arrangement were limited to $8,994 and $8,728 in 1993 and 1992,
    respectively. This amount increases to $9,240 in 1994. A participant
    affected by these limitations will be given timely notification by the
    Committee.

    If the collective bargaining agreement so provides and subject to the
    approval by the Board of Directors, the Company will contribute, in
    addition to the tax deferred contributions it makes on behalf of
    participants, on a monthly basis (or as otherwise indicated by the
    Committee) on behalf of each participating employee an amount equal to a
    specified percentage of the amount of tax deferred contributions
    authorized by a participant for the Plan year. The percentage amount of
    any matching contribution will be specified in the collective bargaining
    agreement and set forth in an appendix to the Plan document.

                   BARGAINING UNIT EMPLOYEES SAVINGS PLAN

                  Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)

      Contributions (continued)

   The amount of such contribution may be different for any specified bargaining
   unit, but shall be such that the Company's contributions shall not exceed the
   maximum amount allowable as a deduction under the Code for such Plan year.
   Such matching contributions may be made in cash or shares of the Company's
   common stock of equal value.   For the years ended December 31, 1993 and
   1992, the matching contribution rate was 15 cents for each tax deferred
   dollar up to 3% of the participant's earnings.

   If the collective bargaining agreement provides, the Company shall make for
   each Plan year a  supplemental contribution in cash or shares of the
   Company's common stock.  The amount of the supplemental contribution and the
   formula for and timing of allocation of the supplemental contribution among
   participants' accounts shall be determined pursuant to the applicable
   collective bargaining agreement and set forth in an applicable appendix to
   the Plan.  The amount of such contribution may be different for any specified
   bargaining unit, but shall not exceed the maximum amount allowable as a
   deduction under the Code for such Plan year.  There were no supplemental
   contributions approved for the years ended December 31, 1993 and 1992.

   A participant, with the prior discretionary approval of the Committee, may
   transfer amounts received from other retirement plans to the Plan.  Amounts
   that are rolled over from other retirement plans are held in a separate
   rollover account.

      Participant Accounts

   Each participant's account is credited with the participant's contribution(s)
   and allocation of the Company's contribution(s), as defined.  The benefit to
   which a participant is entitled is the benefit that can be provided from the
   participant's account.

      Vesting

   The value of a participant's tax deferred account which will be maintained
   for his tax deferred contributions, and after tax account, which will be
   maintained for his after tax contributions, will be fully vested at all
   times.  The value of the shares of common stock purchased or contributed by
   the Company allocated to a participant's matching account or supplemental
   account, which will be maintained for the Company's matching contributions
   and supplemental contributions, will be fully vested upon the occurrence of
   any of the following events:  completion of 5 years of service with respect
   to matching contributions and supplemental contributions, attainment of age
   65, disability or death.

                  Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)

      Withdrawals

   A participant may elect to withdraw from his after tax account and/or
   rollover account up to 100% of his account balance.

   A participant's tax deferred contributions, matching account and/or
   supplemental account will be available for withdrawal if:

     (a)   The participant is eligible for a "hardship" withdrawal in
           accordance with the rules established by the Internal Revenue
           Service ("IRS"), or

     (b)   The participant has attained age 59 1/2.

   A participant who qualifies for a hardship withdrawal is suspended from
   making contributions to the plan for one year.  Under present IRS rules, a
   "hardship" means an immediate and heavy need to draw on financial resources
   to meet obligations related to health, education or housing.

   A participant, upon termination of service, shall receive a lump sum equal to
   the value of his account.

      Termination

   In accordance with the procedures set forth in the Plan, the Company may
   terminate the Plan at any time in whole or in part.  To the extent permitted
   under Section 401(k) of the Code and the regulations thereunder, in the event
   of the dissolution, merger, consolidation or reorganization of the Company,
   the Plan will terminate and the Trust Fund will be liquidated unless the Plan
   is continued by a successor to the Company in accordance with the Plan.  If
   the Plan is completely or partially terminated, the accounts of all
   participants affected thereby will become fully vested and nonforfeitable to
   the extent funded.

      Administration Expenses

   All expenses of the Plan including record-keeping fees, administrative
   charges, professional fees, and Trustee fees for the years ended December 31,
   1993 and 1992 were paid by the Company.

(2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:

      Investment Valuation

    The value of the shares in a mutual fund is based on the market value of the
    underlying securities in the fund.

    Investments in securities traded on a national exchange are valued at the
    last reported sales price on the last business day of the year. Securities
    traded on any other exchange are valued in the same manner, or, if not so
    traded, on the basis of closing over-the-counter bid prices.

    Temporary investments in short-term investment funds are valued at cost
    which approximates market value.

      Other

    The Plan presents in the statement of changes in net assets available for
    plan benefits the net appreciation (depreciation) in the fair value of its
    investments which consists of the realized gains or losses and the
    unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on those investments.

    Purchases and sales of securities are reflected on a trade-date basis.
    Gains or losses on sales of securities are based on average cost. Dividend
    income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest is recorded as
    earned.


(3) Federal Income Taxes:

    Tax and ERISA counsel to the Company is of the opinion that the Plan will
    be a "qualified" plan under Section 401(a) of the Code, and that the Plan
    will include a qualified cash or deferred arrangement within the meaning
    of Section 401(k) of the Code. The IRS will be requested to make a
    determination regarding the tax status of the Plan. Qualified plans are
    exempt from Federal income taxes under Section 501(a) of the Code.

    Under present Federal income tax laws and regulations, and as long as the
    Plan is approved as a qualified plan, participants are not subject to
    Federal income taxes as a result of their participation in the Plan until
    their accounts are withdrawn or distributed to them.

    The trust established under the Plan to hold the Plan's assets is qualified
    pursuant to Section 501(c)9 of the Code, and, accordingly, the trust's net
    investment income is exempt from income taxes.

(4) Investment Programs:

   Participants may direct the investment of their tax deferred and after tax
   contributions, in multiples of 10%, in any one or more of the Investment
   funds selected by the Committee.  A description of the Investment funds are
   as follows.

      The H. J. Heinz Company Stock Fund consists of common stock of the
      Company.

      The Magellan Fund is an aggressive growth fund, the assets of which are
      invested primarily in common stocks of both well-known and lesser-known
      companies with above-average growth potential and a correspondingly higher
      level of risk.

      The assets of the Retirement Government Money Market are invested in a
      money market fund.  The assets consist of short-term obligations issued or
      guaranteed by the U. S. Government, its agencies or instrumentalities and
      repurchase agreements secured by U. S. Government obligations.

      The assets of the Puritan Fund are invested in a broadly diversified
      portfolio of high-yielding securities.  The assets consist of common
      stocks, preferred stocks and corporate bonds.

      The assets of the Intermediate Bond Fund are invested in high-quality,
      fixed-income obligations whose average maturity ranges between 3 and 10
      years.

      The Retirement Growth Fund is an aggressive growth fund which seeks
      capital appreciation by investing primarily in common stocks, although it
      can invest in all types of securities.


   The Magellan, Retirement Government Money Market, Puritan, Intermediate Bond,
   and Retirement Growth Funds are managed by Fidelity Management and Research
   Company.
