Item 8.01 Other Events

On April 15, 2011, Pinnacle Foods Finance LLC’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Pinnacle Foods Group LLC, announced plans to further improve the efficiency and sustainability of its supply chain. The company will be consolidating the Birds Eye® brand’s Fulton, N.Y. plant operations into the Darien, Wis. and Waseca, Minn. facilities, which will locate all vegetable processing closer to the crop growing region, eliminating approximately one million shipping miles every year. The Fulton, N.Y. facility will be closing at the end of 2011. In the Darien, Wis. and Waseca, Minn. plants, Pinnacle Foods will be investing significant capital to increase capacity and upgrade existing manufacturing capabilities, which will also result in the creation of new jobs in those regions. This consolidation is contingent upon the final approval of applicable state and local incentives in both Wisconsin and Minnesota.
