                        INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT



H. J. HEINZ COMPANY EMPLOYEE
  BENEFITS ADMINISTRATION BOARD:

   We have audited the statements of net assets available for plan benefits of
the H. J. Heinz Company Employees Retirement and Savings Plan (formerly the 
H. J. Heinz Company Employees Savings Plan prior to January 1, 1993) as of
December 31, 1993 and 1992 and the related statements of changes in net assets
available for plan benefits for the years then ended. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Employee Benefits Administration
Board of the H. J. Heinz Company. 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 plan benefits of the H. J.
Heinz Company Employees Retirement and Savings Plan as of December 31, 1993 and
1992 and the changes in net assets available for plan benefits for the years
then ended, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

   As discussed in note 10 to the financial statements, the H. J. Heinz Company
Employees Retirement and Savings Plan changed its method of accounting for
payments due to participants in 1993, in accordance with the American Institute 
of Certified Public Accountants revised Audit and Accounting Guide "Audits of
Employee Benefit Plans", as of May 1, 1993.

   Our audits were made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the financial
statements taken as a whole.  The supplemental schedule of assets held for
investment purposes and the supplemental schedule of 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 Regulation for Reporting and Disclosure
under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974.  The supplemental
schedules 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.

                        Notes to Financial Statements


(1) Plan Description:

    The following description of the H. J. Heinz Company ("Company") Employees
    Retirement and Savings Plan ("Plan") provides only general information.
    Participants should refer to the Plan document for a more complete
    description of the Plan's provisions. The Plan was amended
    effective January 1, 1993 to provide for the age-related company
    contribution account, which is explained in detail below; to authorize
    the payment of all applicable plan administrative expenses from Plan
    assets; to permit plan forfeitures to be used to either offset future
    employer contributions or to be used to pay for plan administrative
    expenses; and to change the name of the Plan from the H. J. Heinz Company
    Employees Savings Plan to the H. J. Heinz Company Employees Retirement and
    Savings Plan.

      General

    The Plan is a defined contribution plan covering salaried employees
    actively employed by the Company or any of the affiliated companies. 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 total of a participant's tax deferred and after tax contributions
    may not exceed 13% of his compensation. Each participant may make tax
    deferred contributions, in whole percentages, of not less than 2% of his
    compensation.

    Tax deferred contributions made by certain highly compensated participants
    may be limited under Internal Revenue Code rules. 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.

    The Company will contribute on behalf of each participating employee an
    amount equivalent to the tax deferred contribution which does not exceed
    3% of the employee's compensation. The Company's matching contributions
    may be made in cash or in shares of the Company's common stock of equal
    value. Shares of stock used for the Company match will come from the
    shares held in the separate, leveraged employee stock ownership plan
    ("ESOP") trust. The ESOP is described in greater detail in note 7.

                  Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)


      Contributions (continued)

   A Company Contribution Account ("CCA") was added to the Plan effective
   January 1, 1993.  The Company will make monthly, age-related contributions to
   the accounts of participating employees who direct the investment of such
   contributions into one or more of the investment funds stated in note 4, with
   the exception of the H. J. Heinz Company Stock Fund.  The age-related
   contributions are based on percentages of participants' eligible earnings and
   range from a rate of 1% for participants that are less than 25 years old to a
   rate of 13% for participants that are 60 years old and over.

   The Board of Directors has designated (i) Fidelity Management Trust Company
   to act as trustee ("Trustee") under the Plan effective February 8, 1994.
   Bankers Trust Company had acted as trustee ("Former Trustee") under the Plan
   until February 7, 1994;  and (ii) Mellon Bank, N. A. to act as trustee of the
   separate ESOP trust established for matching contributions ("ESOP Trustee").

   A participant 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 (a) the Company's matching and age-related contributions,
   as defined and (b) Plan earnings.  Allocations are based on participant
   earnings or account balances, 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, after tax account, which will be
   maintained for his after tax contributions, and rollover account, which
   will be maintained for his rollover contributions, will be fully vested at
   all times.  The value of the Company's matching contribution and CCA
   contribution allocated to a participant's account will be fully vested upon
   the occurrence of any of the following events: completion of 5 years of
   service (or in the case of the matching contribution of a participant who
   was an employee as of December 31, 1992, 36 months of continuous membership
   in the Plan, if earlier), discharge without cause, termination of employment
   after attainment of age 55, attainment of age 65, total and permanent
   disability, or death.

                  Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)


      Withdrawals

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

   A participant's matching account will be available for withdrawal if:

     (a)  The participant has at least 5 years of continuous membership in the
          Plan, or

     (b)  is eligible for a "hardship" withdrawal in accordance with the rules
          of the Plan, or

     (c)  has attained age 59 1/2.

   A participant may not withdraw any amount from his tax deferred account
   during active employment before age 59 1/2  except for hardship as defined in
   the Plan.

   A participant may not withdraw any amount from his CCA during active
   employment before age 70 1/2.

   A participant who qualifies for a hardship withdrawal and withdraws from his
   matching and tax deferred accounts is suspended from making contributions to
   the Plan for one year.  Under present Internal Revenue Service ("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, may elect to receive a lump-sum
   amount equal to the value of his account or annual installments over a period
   not to exceed 30 years.  A terminated participant may also elect to choose a
   direct transfer of his account balance to the trustee or custodian of another
   eligible retirement plan.

      Loans

   The Plan was amended effective January 1, 1990, to prohibit the granting or
   renegotiating of loans.  Any outstanding loan as of December 31, 1989 shall
   continue to be administered in accordance with the loan rules established by
   the Committee as in effect on such date.

   The interest rates for all outstanding loans for the years ended December 31,
   1993 and 1992, were between 6.06% and 12.50%.

                  Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)


      Loans (continued)

   Payment of principal and interest is by payroll withholding, subject to rules
   permitting prepayment.  Repayments of the principal of a loan to a
   participant will be allocated first to the participant's after tax account,
   and then to the participant's tax deferred account.  Payments of interest on
   a loan to a participant are allocated to the participant's after tax account
   and tax deferred account, respectively, in the same proportion that the
   outstanding principal of the loan was attributable to such accounts at the
   end of the month preceding the payment.  Payments of principal and interest
   are reinvested in the investment fund(s) in accordance with the participant's
   investment directions in effect at the time such interest or principal
   repayment is received by the Trustee.


      Termination

   The term of the Plan is indefinite, subject to termination at any time by the
   Board of Directors of the Company.  In the event the Plan is terminated or
   the Company contributions are permanently discontinued, participants will be
   fully vested in the Company contributions.

      Administration Expenses

   Expenses of the Plan including record-keeping fees, administrative charges,
   professional fees, and trustee fees, may be paid by the Trustee from the
   assets of the Trust Fund unless paid by the Company.  For the year ended
   December 31, 1993 administrative expenses amounting to $1,377,965 were paid
   by the Trustee from the assets of the Plan.   For the year ended December 31,
   1992, the Company paid all administrative expenses in excess of $150,000 that
   were related to the operation of the Plan's funds, excluding the ESOP trust.
   Expenses absorbed by the Plan were allocated to the various funds of
   the Plan, excluding the ESOP trust, based on the net asset value of the
   individual fund as a percentage of the total net asset value of the Plan's
   funds, excluding the ESOP trust.

   For the years ended December 31, 1993 and 1992, the Plan's administrative
   expenses relating to the ESOP amounted to $114,312 and $122,105,
   respectively, and were paid from the assets of the ESOP trust.

   The Committee adopted a policy in March, 1992, stating that the Company, as
   permitted by ERISA, may obtain reimbursement from Company sponsored employee
   benefit plans for certain administrative charges incurred in providing
   administrative services to such plans.  These expenses include salaries,
   payroll expenses and other miscellaneous charges, and are allocated based on
   time incurred related to each plan.  The allocation of these charges to the
   Plan for the year ended December 31, 1993 was $186,129.

(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 the Company's common stock are valued at the last reported
    sales price on the last business day of the year.

    Guaranteed investment contracts are recorded at contract value which
    includes principal and accumulated interest, which approximates market
    value.

    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.
 
    Certain reclassifications were made to prior year's amounts to conform
    with the 1993 presentations.
    
(3) Federal Income Taxes:

    The IRS has made a determination that the Plan is a qualified plan under
    Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended ("Code").
    Therefore, the Trust established under the Plan is exempt from Federal
    income taxes under Section 501(a) of the Code.

    The IRS will be requested to review the Plan amendments made since the
    determination letter was granted, including the incorporation of the ESOP
    into the Plan. Tax and ERISA counsel to the Company is of the
    opinion that the Plan continues to be a "qualified" plan under Section
    401(a) of the Code, that the Plan contains an employee stock ownership
    plan that meets the requirements of Section 4975(e)(7) of the Code and
    that the Plan contains a qualified cash or deferred arrangement within the
    meaning of Section 401(k) of the Code.

                  Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)


(3) Federal Income Taxes (continued):

    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.

(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 GIC Group Trust Fund invests the contributions of plan participants in
      guaranteed investment contracts which are issued by insurance companies
      that guarantee payment of interest and principal.  The GIC Group Trust is
      managed by Fidelity Management Trust Company and available to other
      employee benefit trusts.

      Interest rates are determined annually for contributions made during the
      year. The actual interest rate for any funds in the GIC Group Trust after
      the initial year will be a blended rate based on the respective rates of
      interest earned by prior contributions and the rate of interest earned
      with respect to contributions made under the Plan for the current year.
      Consequently, the blended rate will be affected by the amount and timing
      of contributions to the GIC Group Trust and by the interest rate
      negotiated by Fidelity with the insurance companies at the beginning of
      each year for contributions made in that year and the interest rates made
      in prior years.

      Transfers are not permitted between the GIC Group Trust Fund and either
      the Retirement Government Money Market (known as the U. S. Government
      Reserve Fund prior to January 1, 1993)  or the Intermediate Bond Funds.
      Transfers into or out of the GIC Group Trust Fund may be made once
      a quarter.

      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.

(4) Investment Programs (continued):


      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 assets of the Equity-Income Fund are invested primarily in common
      stocks, but are also invested in preferred stocks, corporate bonds and
      convertible securities.

      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.

      In addition, effective January 1, 1993, the following funds were made
      available in order to provide participants with greater investment

(6) Forfeitures:

    Company contributions which have been credited to participants' accounts and
    which have not vested are forfeited upon termination of employment. These
    forfeitures are credited against subsequent Company contributions, or may
    be used to pay plan administrative expenses, effective January 1, 1993.
    Forfeitures were $140,843 for the year ended December 31, 1993 and
    $191,257 for the year ended December 31, 1992.

(7) ESOP Trust:

    In September, 1989, the ESOP trust borrowed $50 million and purchased
    1,577,908 shares of Heinz Common Stock at $31.6875 per share.  The Company
    financed the transaction and sold the stock to the ESOP.

    The Heinz stock is pledged as collateral for the loan and is credited to a
    suspense account from which it is gradually released for allocation to
    participants' accounts over the term of the loan. During 1993 and 1992, the
    number of shares released from the suspense account for allocation to
    participant accounts as a result of principal repayments was 130,405 and
    129,689, respectively. As noted previously, the shares of stock used for the
    Company match will come from the shares held in the ESOP trust. At December
    31, 1993 and 1992, $37,085,514 and $51,509,789, respectively, of
    unallocated assets were held by the ESOP.

(7) ESOP Trust (continued):

    The ESOP debt is in the form of an interest-bearing promissory note. For the
    years ended December 31, 1993 and 1992, the weighted average interest rate
    was 3.3281% and 3.9583%, respectively. Repayment of the loan will be made
    primarily through semi-annual payments. Dividends paid by the Company on the
    unallocated shares of the Heinz Common Stock will be applied for repayment
    of the loan.

    When dividends paid are not sufficient to make semi-annual repayments, the
    Company makes additional contributions to fund the deficiency.

    The amount of ESOP debt required to be retired in each of the five years
    succeeding 1993 is: $2,468,450 in 1994, $2,526,296 in 1995, $2,668,970 in
    1996, $2,819,702 in 1997 and $2,978,947 in 1998.


(8) Mergers:

    On April 14, 1993, the Board approved the merger of certain assets of the
    Portion Pac, Inc. Thrift Savings (401-(k)) Plan ("PPI Plan") into the
    Plan and certain participants of the PPI Plan became eligible for
    membership in the Plan effective June 1, 1993.

    The transfer of PPI Plan assets occurred on August 5, 1993. The total assets
    transferred from the PPI Plan to the Plan was $1,316,867 of which $64,281
    represented PPI Plan participant loan balances.

    On July 1, 1993, the Company purchased the Clorox Company's Food Service
    Products Division. Certain participants in the Clorox Company Tax Reduction
    Investment Plan ("TRIP") employed by the Clorox Company's Food Service
    Products Division ("Affected Participants") became eligible for membership
    in the Plan effective December 1, 1993. Affected Participants' TRIP loan
    balances of $52,459 were merged into the Plan effective December 1, 1993.
    All other TRIP assets related to Affected Participants were not transferred
    to the Plan until February 28, 1994. Accordingly, the Plan has recorded a
    transfer receivable of $1,197,774.

(9) Sale of the Hubinger Company:

   On June 27, 1991, the Company sold The Hubinger Company ("Hubinger") to
   Roquette Freres.  As a result of this sale, all Hubinger participant
   contributions and company matching contributions were suspended beginning
   July 1, 1991.  All Hubinger employees who had been participating in the Plan
   at the time of the sale were given written notification in December, 1991,
   regarding the status of their account balances.  They were informed that any
   account balances not withdrawn by March 31, 1992 would remain in the Plan and
   would be subject to all rules and regulations of the Plan, as they were prior
   to the sale of Hubinger.

   Total Hubinger participant withdrawals made between January 1, 1992 and
   March 31, 1992 amounted to $13,782,824.


(10) Change in Accounting:

   In accordance with the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants
   revised Audit and Accounting Guide "Audits of Employee Benefit Plans", as of
   May 1, 1993 ("Guide"), the Plan changed its method of accounting for
   distributions payable to participants in 1993. Presently, the Plan includes
   payments due to participants in net assets available for plan benefits in
   accordance with the Guide. The Plan previously presented such amounts as a
   liability. The cumulative effect of the change is to increase net assets
   available for plan benefits by $4,841,188 as of January 1, 1993. Payments due
   to participants as of December 31, 1993 was $1,434,993. This methodology
   differs from that required under ERISA. Therefore, for the Form 5500, the
   Plan includes such distributions payable as a liability of the Plan.
