relating to the 5 1/2% Trust Convertible Preferred Securities (the "Preferred

Suiza Capital Trust II, a statutory business trust created under the laws of
the State of Delaware (the "Issuer" or the "Trust"), the common securities of
the Issuer (the "Common Securities" and, together with the Preferred
Securities, the "Trust Securities"), the 5 1/2% Convertible Subordinated
Debentures due April 1, 2028 (the "Debentures") issued by Suiza Foods

         Following their original issuance by the Trust, the Preferred

will no longer be eligible for trading on the PORTAL Market. Suiza and the
Trust do not currently intend to list the Preferred Securities resold pursuant

as to the development or liquidity of any market for the Preferred Securities
resold under this Prospectus. See "Risk Factors -- Absence of Public Market for
the Preferred Securities" in the Prospectus.

         Neither Suiza nor the Trust will receive any of the proceeds from the
sale of the Preferred Securities by the Selling Holders. Expenses of preparing
and filing the Registration Statement, the Prospectus, this Prospectus
Supplement No. 13 and all other prospectus supplements are borne by Suiza.

the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Securities. All
references in the Prospectus to "this Prospectus" are hereby amended to read
