Exhibit 10.18

                       AMENDMENT TO AGREEMENT


     THIS AMENDMENT is made and entered into as the 23rd day of March,
2000, by and between INTERNATIONAL MULTIFOODS CORPORATION, a Delaware
corporation (the "Company"), having its principal offices at 200 East
Lake Street, Wayzata, Minnesota 55391, and JEFFREY E. BOIES, whose
principal residence is located at 7372 Fairway Lane, Parker, Colorado
80134 ("Boies").

     WHEREAS, the Company and Boies entered into that certain Agreement,
dated as of October 20, 1999, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit A
hereto (the "Agreement"); and

     WHEREAS, the Company and Boies wish to amend the Agreement to
clarify the parties' intent that the Agreement and its terms and
provisions do not supersede or modify the terms and provisions of the
Severance Agreement, dated December 20, 1996, between the Company and
Boies, as hereinafter provided.

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the preceding recitals and the
terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, the Company and Boies agree
to amend the Agreement, effective as of the date of this Amendment set
forth above, as follows:

     1.  Delete Paragraph G of Section 4 of the Agreement, in its
entirety, and insert in full and complete substitution therefore, the
following:

    "G.  This Agreement is a Colorado contract and shall be governed by
the laws of the State of Colorado.  This Agreement, including the
recitals set forth on pages 1 and 2 hereof and the form of Release
Agreement attached thereto as Exhibit B, constitute the entire agreement
between the Company and Boies with respect to the subject matter of this
Agreement, and supersede any prior oral or written agreement between the
Company and Boies with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement,
other than agreements between the Company and Boies set forth in
paragraphs 7 through 12, inclusive, of the September 24, 1996 Letter,
and that certain Severance Agreement, dated December 20, 1996, between
the Company and Boies related to a change of control of the Company (the
"Severance Agreement"), each of which shall continue in full force and
effect and shall not be superseded, or modified in any respect, by this
Agreement. The Company and Boies agree and acknowledge that the
severance payment provided for in Section 1A. of this Agreement is in
addition to, and not in lieu of, any amounts that the Company is
obligated to pay Boies under the terms and provisions of the Severance
Agreement.  The Company and Boies agree that by executing and delivering
this Agreement, paragraph 7 of the September 24, 1996 Letter shall be
amended coincidentally to include the definition of "cause" set forth in
Section 3.A. of this Agreement, immediately following the last sentence
of paragraph 7."

     2.  Except as modified by this Amendment, the terms and conditions of
the Agreement shall continue in full force and effect.

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have signed and delivered this
Amendment as of the day and year first above written.
