Explanatory Note

Cal-Maine Foods, Inc. (the “Company”) is filing this amendment to its Current Report on Form 8-K originally filed with the SEC on January 3, 2011 (the “Original Filing”). This Current Report on Form 8-K/A is being filed to add certain clarifying information and is revised in its entirety as follows.

Item 4.01. Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant.

On January 3, 2011, Cal-Maine Foods, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the “Company”) was notified that, Frazer Frost, LLP (“Frazer Frost”), the Company’s independent accountant, and the principal accountant that was engaged to audit the Company’s financial statements, was winding down operations as Frazer Frost and that the firms that had combined to form Frazer Frost, Frost, PLLC (“Frost”) and Moore Stephens Wurth Frazer and Torbert, LLP (“MSWFT”), would resume their separate operations. Accordingly, Frazer Frost resigned as the Company’s certifying accountant on January 3, 2011. Frost was registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) effective December 21, 2010. On December 22, 2010, the Audit Committee of the Company's Board of Directors approved the appointment of Frost as its independent registered public accounting firm effective upon the separation of Frost and MSWFT.

The financial statements for the year ended May 29, 2010 were reported on by Frazer Frost and the financial statements for the year ended May 30, 2009 were previously reported on by Frost, with unqualified opinions. Frost will assume responsibility for the Frazer Frost audit of the Company for the year ended May 29, 2010 and all subsequent interim periods.

During the Company’s most recent fiscal year ended May 29, 2010, and the subsequent interim period through the date of resignation, the Company did not consult with Frost on (i) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that may be rendered on the Company’s financial statements, and Frost did not provide either a written report or oral advice to the Company that was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to any accounting, auditing, or financial reporting issue; or (ii) the subject of any disagreement, as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions, or a reportable event within the meaning set forth in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K. Prior to the merger of Frost and MSWFT into Frazer Frost on January 4, 2010, Frost was engaged as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm and would have in the normal course of the professional relationship, discussed a variety of matters, including the application of accounting principles, auditing standards, financial reporting issues, and reportable events with management, however their responses were not a condition to their retention.

Since the date of the Company’s engagement of Frazer Frost through the date of this report, there were: (i) no disagreements between the Company and Frazer Frost on any matters of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedures, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Frazer Frost, would have caused Frazer Frost to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with their report; and (ii) no reportable events within the meaning set forth in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

The Company has provided Frazer Frost a copy of the disclosures in this Form 8-K and has requested that Frazer Frost furnish it with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether or not Frazer Frost agrees with the Company’s statements in this Item 4.01. A copy of the letter dated January 4, 2011 furnished by Frazer Frost in response to that request is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to this report.

Item 9.01. Financial Statements and Exhibits.
