Item 4.01. Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant.

On April 5, 2010, the Board of Directors of Pinnacle Foods Finance LLC (the “Company”) dismissed PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (“PwC”) as its independent registered public accounting firm upon recommendation and approval of the Audit Committee (the “Audit Committee”) of the Company’s Board of Directors.

The reports issued by PwC for the two most recent fiscal years of the Company ending December 28, 2008 and December 27, 2009 (the “Audit Period”) did not contain any adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor were the reports qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principle. During the Audit Period and through April 5, 2010, there were no disagreements between the Company and PwC on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of PwC, would have caused PwC to make reference thereto in its report on the Company’s financial statements for such years. During the Audit Period and through April 5, 2010, there were no “reportable events” as defined in Section 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

On April 9, 2010, the Board of Directors of the Company approved the engagement of Deloitte & Touche LLP (“Deloitte”) as its independent registered public accounting firm to audit its financial statements upon recommendation and approval of the Audit Committee. Deloitte was formally engaged by the Company on April 9, 2010.

During the Company’s two most recent fiscal years ended December 28, 2008 and December 27, 2009 and through April 9, 2010, the Company did not consult Deloitte with respect to the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company’s financial statements or any other matters or reportable events as set forth on Item 304(a)(2)(i) and (ii) of Regulation S-K.

The Company has provided PwC with a copy of the disclosures it is making in this Current Report on Form 8-K (the “Current Report”) and has requested that PwC furnish the Company with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether it agrees with the statements made by the Company with respect to PwC in this Current Report and, if not, stating the respects in which it does not agree. A copy of the letter, dated April 9, 2010, is attached as Exhibit 16.1 to this Current Report.
