</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;COLUMBUS, Ohio, Nov. 19 &#151; Lancaster Colony Corporation (Nasdaq: LANC) announced today that,
as part of its strategic alternative review of nonfood operations, it has sold most of the consumer
and floral glass operating assets of its Indiana Glass Company and E.O. Brody Company subsidiaries.
The buyer is an affiliate of The Anchor Hocking Company, a portfolio company of Monomoy Capital
Partners, L.P. and a leading North American designer, manufacturer and distributor of glassware to
the retail, foodservice and specialty markets. Products associated with these operations generated
net sales of approximately $53&nbsp;million during the fiscal year ended June&nbsp;30, 2007, and these sales
were modestly accretive to the fiscal 2007 operating results.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;John B. Gerlach, Jr., chairman and CEO of Lancaster Colony, said, &#147;Similar to a number of
fiscal 2007 divestitures, this sale is consistent with our objective to concentrate our future
effort and investment in the food sector.&#148;
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;This cash transaction is expected to result in a pretax loss of approximately $5 &#151; $7&nbsp;million,
pending customary post-closing adjustments.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<I>We desire to take advantage of the &#147;safe harbor&#148; provisions of the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (the &#147;PSLRA&#148;). This news release contains various &#147;forward&#151;looking
statements&#148; within the meaning of the PSLRA and other applicable securities laws. Such statements
can be identified by the use of the forward-looking words &#147;anticipate,&#148; &#147;estimate,&#148; &#147;project,&#148;
&#147;believe,&#148; &#147;intend,&#148; &#147;plan,&#148; &#147;expect,&#148; &#147;hope&#148; or similar words. These statements discuss future
expectations, contain projections regarding future developments, operations or financial
conditions, or state other forward-looking information. Such statements are based upon assumptions
and assessments made by us in light of our experience and perception of historical trends, current
conditions, expected future developments and other factors we believe to be appropriate. These
forward-looking statements involve various important risks, uncertainties and other factors that
could cause our actual results to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking
statements. Actual results may differ as a result of factors over which we have no, or limited,
control including the strength of the economy, changes in the financial markets, slower than
anticipated sales growth, the extent of operational efficiencies achieved, the success of new
product introductions, price and product competition, and increases in energy and raw-material
costs. Management believes these forward-looking statements to be reasonable; however, undue
reliance should not be placed on such statements that are based on current expectations. We
undertake no obligation to update such forward-looking statements. Specific influences relating to
forward-looking statements in this news release are numerous, including the uncertainty regarding
the extent of post-closing adjustments and the performance of the buyer under the related supply
agreements. More detailed statements regarding significant events that could affect our financial
results are included in our annual report on </I><I>Form 10-K</I><I> as filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission.</I>
