This Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D relates to shares of Common
Stock, $.01 par value per share (the "Shares"), of Hain Food Group, Inc. (the
"Issuer"). This Amendment No. 1 amends the initial statement on Schedule 13D
dated February 18, 1997 (the "Initial Statement") filed by the Reporting Persons
(as defined herein). This Amendment No. 1 is being filed by the Reporting
Persons to report the recent acquisition of Shares for the accounts of Quasar
International Partners C.V., a Netherlands Antilles limited partnership ("Quasar
Partners"), Collins Capital Diversified Fund, L.P., a Delaware limited
partnership ("Collins Capital"), and Joseph U. Barton, as a result of which the
percentage of Shares of which the Reporting Persons may be deemed to be the
beneficial owner has increased by more than one percent. Capitalized terms used
but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Initial
Statement. The Initial Statement is supplementally amended as follows.
Item 2. Identity and Background.
This Statement is filed on behalf of Soros Fund Management LLC, a
Delaware limited liability company ("SFM LLC"), Mr. George Soros ("Mr. Soros"),
Mr. Stanley F. Druckenmiller ("Mr. Druckenmiller"), White Rock Capital, L.P., a
Texas limited partnership ("White Rock"), Thomas U. Barton and Joseph U. Barton
(collectively, the "Reporting Persons").
Updated information concerning the Managing Directors of SFM LLC
is attached hereto as Annex A and incorporated herein by reference.
Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.
White Rock expended approximately $3,063,044 of the working
capital of Quasar Partners to purchase the Shares reported herein as being
acquired within the last 60 days. White Rock expended approximately $163,457 of
the working capital of Collins Capital to purchase the Shares reported herein as
being acquired within the last 60 days. Joseph U. Barton expended approximately
$85,579 of his personal funds to purchase the Shares reported herein as having
been acquired within the last 60 days.
The Shares (and securities derivative thereof) held for the
accounts of Quasar Partners, other SFM Clients, Collins Capital, White Rock,
Thomas U. Barton and Joseph U. Barton may be held through margin accounts
maintained with brokers, which extend margin credit as and when required to open
or carry positions in their margin accounts, subject to applicable federal
margin regulations, stock exchange rules and such firm's credit policies. The
Shares which may be held in the margin accounts are pledged as collateral
security for the repayment of debit balances in the respective accounts.
Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.
(a) (i) As a consequence of SFM LLC's ability to terminate the
White Rock Contract with respect to all investments, including those involving
the Shares, and acquire voting and dispositive power over the Shares within 60
days, notwithstanding the fact that none of SFM LLC, Mr. Soros and Mr.
Druckenmiller currently exercises such power, SFM LLC, Mr. Soros and Mr.
Druckenmiller may be deemed the beneficial owner of 1,126,700 Shares
(approximately 13.17% of the total number of Shares outstanding).
(ii) White Rock may be deemed the beneficial owner of
1,264,700 Shares (approximately 14.78% of the total number of Shares
outstanding). This number consists of (1) 1,126,700 Shares held for the account
of Quasar Partners and (2) 138,000 Shares held for the account of Collins
Capital.
Page 9 of 13 Pages
(iii) Thomas U. Barton may be deemed the beneficial owner of
1,319,700 Shares (approximately 15.42% of the total number of Shares outstanding
assuming the exercise of the Barton Options). This number consists of (1)
1,126,700 Shares held for the account of Quasar Partners, (2) 138,000 Shares
held for the account of Collins Capital, and (3) 55,000 Shares issuable upon
exercise by Thomas U. Barton of the Barton Options currently held for his
account.
(iv) Joseph U. Barton may be deemed the beneficial owner of

outstanding). This number consists of (1) 1,126,700 Shares held for the account
of Quasar Partners, (2) 138,000 Shares held for the account of Collins Capital
and (3) 25,000 Shares held for his account.
(b) (i) White Rock, Thomas U. Barton and Joseph U. Barton are
currently vested with shared power to direct the voting and disposition of the
1,126,700 Shares held for the account Quasar Partners as a result of the White
Rock Contract and the positions of Thomas U. Barton and Joseph U. Barton as the
general partners of White Rock. SFM LLC has the contractual authority on behalf
of Quasar Partners to terminate the White Rock Contract within 60 days and, as a
result, SFM LLC, Mr. Soros and Mr. Druckenmiller may be deemed to have the
ability to acquire the voting and dispositive power held by White Rock with
respect to the 1,126,700 Shares.
(ii) White Rock, Thomas U. Barton and Joseph U. Barton are
currently vested with shared power to direct the voting and disposition of the
138,000 Shares held for the account of Collins Capital.
(iii) Thomas U. Barton is currently vested with the sole
power to direct the voting and disposition of the 55,000 Shares issuable upon
exercise by Thomas U. Barton of the Barton Options currently held for his
account.
(iv) Joseph U. Barton is currently vested with the sole
power to direct the voting and disposition of the 25,000 Shares held for his
account.
(c) Except for the transactions disclosed on Annex B hereto, all
of which were effected in the over-the-counter market in routine brokerage
transactions, there have been no transactions with respect to the Shares since
May 12, 1997 (60 days prior to the date hereof) by any of the Reporting Persons,
Collins Capital or Quasar Partners.
(d) (i) The partners of Quasar Partners, including Quasar

participate in the receipt of dividends from, or proceeds from the sale of, the
Shares, held for the account of Quasar Partners in accordance with their
partnership interests in Quasar Partners.
(ii) The partners of Collins Capital have the right to
participate in the receipt of dividends from, or proceeds from the sale of, the
Shares held by Collins Capital in accordance with their partnership interests in

the receipt of dividends from, or proceeds from the sale of, the Shares issuable
upon exercise by Thomas U. Barton of the Barton Options currently held for his
account.
