<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 Corporation, said, &#147;We were
generally pleased with our Specialty Foods performance given substantially higher material costs.
Challenges facing our remaining nonfood operations were largely expected, although we anticipate
some improvement going forward.&#148;
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Specialty Foods sales growth, led by frozen products, reflects volume from both the retail and
foodservice channels. All growth was internally generated, with pricing contributing roughly half
of the overall increase. Segment operating income of $23.5&nbsp;million declined one percent from the
year-ago level due to substantially higher commodity and other raw-material costs. These higher
input costs totaled approximately $20&nbsp;million, but were mitigated by the quarter&#146;s higher sales
volume and pricing. The first quarter also included costs associated with consolidating the
Atlanta dressing operation into other facilities totaling approximately $0.8&nbsp;million.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Net sales of candles and related products were up slightly in the first quarter, while overall
sales of the Glassware and Candles segment were impacted by the prior-year divestiture and closing
of glass operations. Segment operating income declined by $5.3&nbsp;million, reflecting the absence of
contributions from the divested operations, higher wax costs and lower operating levels among other
factors. Higher pricing is currently being implemented for many candle products.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt">PAGE 2 / LANCASTER COLONY REPORTS FIRST QUARTER SALES AND EARNINGS
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Corporate expenses increased $0.3&nbsp;million, reflecting costs associated with former nonfood
manufacturing real estate held for sale. Approximately $0.8&nbsp;million was related to the razing of a
former industrial glass operation. These costs, along with the previously-mentioned food-facility
closure costs, are presented as restructuring charges.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&#147;Looking at our current second quarter,&#148; Mr.&nbsp;Gerlach said, &#147;we believe that today we are
better structured to confront the unusual macroeconomic conditions now before us. Despite very
uncertain retail market conditions, our consolidated sales should see further growth driven by
improving food sales. Operating income will likely show the benefits of a stronger top line.
Also, the prior year second quarter results included a $5.7&nbsp;million pretax loss associated with
divested consumer and floral glass operations.&#148; Adversely impacting results will be higher
material costs, lower fixed cost absorption at candle manufacturing operations and the absence of
the prior year income contribution from the sold operations.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Mr.&nbsp;Gerlach added, &#147;Our many strong market positions, seasoned executive teams and solid
balance sheet provide the necessary foundation to take advantage of arising opportunities.&#148;
