Foodbrands America, Inc.

Oklahoma City, Oklahoma 73118-4100
Ladies and Gentlemen:
Reference is made to your Amendment No. 2 to Registration Statement on Form
S-3 (Registration No. 333-01911) to be filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission on May 9, 1996. Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms
used herein are defined as set forth in the above-mentioned Registration
Statement.
We have examined the corporate records of Foodbrands America, Inc. (the
"Company"), have attended meetings of the Company's Board of Directors and have
made such other investigations as we have deemed appropriate in order to express
the opinions set forth herein. In addition, we have relied upon the factual
representations made by the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors in the
Indenture.
Based on and subject to the foregoing, we are of the opinion that:
When issued to the Underwriters against payment therefor in
accordance with the purchase agreement among the Company and Merrill
Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated, Chase Securities Inc. and
Dillon, Read & Co. Inc., the Notes proposed to be sold by the Company
and the Note Guarantees will be valid and binding obligations of the
Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors, respectively, and each of such
Notes and Note Guarantees will be enforceable against the Company and
such Subsidiary Guarantors, respectively, in accordance with their
terms.
The opinions expressed herein as to the valid, binding and enforceable
nature of the Notes and the Note Guarantees is subject to the exceptions that
(i) enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency (including, without
limitation, all laws relating to fraudulent transfers), reorganization,
moratorium or similar laws affecting enforcement of creditors' rights generally,
and (ii) enforcement is subject to general principles of equity (regardless of
whether enforcement is considered a proceeding in equity or at law).
We hereby consent to the inclusion of this opinion as an exhibit to the
above-mentioned Registration Statement and to the reference to our firm under
the caption "Legal Matters" in the Prospectus comprising a part of such
Registration Statement.
Very truly yours,
McAfee & Taft A Professional
Corporation
