Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.

Today, February 21, 2012, ConAgra Foods, Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release regarding its presentation at the Consumer Analyst Group of New York conference, which is scheduled to begin at 9:15 a.m. EST this morning. The presentation will be webcast. The press release and slides used in the presentation by the Company are furnished as Exhibit 99.1 and Exhibit 99.2, respectively, to this Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.

The press release and slides include the non-GAAP financial measures of diluted earnings per share, adjusted for items impacting comparability, return on invested capital, adjusted for items impacting comparability and earnings before income tax, depreciation and amortization. Management considers GAAP financial measures as well as such non-GAAP financial information in its evaluation of the Company’s financial statements and believes these non-GAAP measures provide useful supplemental information to assess the Company’s operating performance, financial position, cash generating capacity and its ability to meet its future debt service. These measures are reconciled in the press release and slides to the most directly comparable measures as reported in accordance with GAAP, and should be viewed in addition to, and not in lieu of, the Company’s diluted earnings per share and operating performance and financial measures as calculated in accordance with GAAP.
