On Thursday, the company had said it would post pretax charges for the business of US$120m to $140m in the fourth quarter of 2006, which ended in May.
In the amended filing, ConAgra said that pretax charges would likely be between $75m and $85m. The charge reflects the net assets of the packaged meats business at its estimated fair value, less costs to sell.
