Explanatory Note
     This Current Report on Form 8-K/A amends and supplements the Current Report on Form 8-K of TreeHouse Foods, Inc. (NYSE: THS) (the “Company”), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 22, 2007 (the “Form 8-K”), which reported under Item 5.02 the resignation of Michelle Obama from the Company’s Board of Directors. This amendment is filed to provide information under Item 3.01, and unless set forth below, all previous Items of the Form 8-K are unchanged.
Item 3.01. Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing
     Terdema L. Ussery, II, who is currently a member of the Company’s Board of Directors, was appointed, effective June 1, 2007, to the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors and was named the “Lead Director” who presides over non-management sessions of the Board of Directors.
     Following the resignation of Michelle R. Obama from the Company’s Board of Directors described below in Item 5.02, the Company was in technical deficiency with section 303A.07(a) of the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) Listed Company Manual (the “NYSE Manual”), which requires that an audit committee be comprised of at least three directors, and section 303A.03 of the NYSE Manual, which requires each listed company to have a presiding director. With Mr. Ussery’s appointments, on June 1, 2007, the NYSE confirmed to the Company that it is in compliance with all NYSE corporate governance listing standards, notwithstanding a technical deficiency notice delivered to the Company by the NYSE on May 24, 2007.
Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
     On May 22, 2007, the Company issued a press release announcing the resignation of Michelle R. Obama from the Company’s Board of Directors, effective May 22, 2007. Ms. Obama’s resignation is the result of increased demands on her time and is not due to any disagreement with the Company on any matter. A copy of the Company’s press release is attached to this report as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
