Item 4. Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant.

On December 16, 2003, the audit committee of Hanover Foods Corporation (the “Company”) engaged BDO Seidman, LLP as the Company’s independent auditor to audit the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ending May 20, 2004. KPMG LLP who had been engaged by the Company as the independent accountants to audit the Company’s consolidated financial statements was dismissed effective December 16, 2003.

The decision to change the Company’s independent accountants from KPMG LLP to BDO Seidman, LLP was approved by the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors.

The reports of KPMG LLP, on the financial statements of the Company during the two-year period ended June 1, 2003, did not contain an adverse opinion, or a disclaimer of opinion, and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles. During the two-year period ended June 1, 2003, and interim period from June 1, 2003 through December 16, 2003, the Company did not have any disagreements with KPMG LLP, 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 KPMG LLP, would have caused it to make a reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in connection with its reports.

In connection with the filing of this Form 8-K/A, KPMG LLP was provided with a copy of this disclosure and was requested by the Company to furnish to the Company a letter addressed to the SEC stating whether KPMG, LLP agrees with the above statements. A copy of KPMG LLP’s letter to the SEC is attached hereto as Exhibit 16 to this Form 8-K/A.
