LANCASTER COLONY ACQUIRES BAKERY ASSETS OF MARSHALL BISCUIT CO.

     COLUMBUS, Ohio, June 1 — Lancaster Colony Corporation (Nasdaq: LANC) announced today that it has acquired the principal assets of Marshall Biscuit Company, Inc., a privately owned producer and marketer of frozen rolls and biscuits based in Saraland, Alabama. This acquisition is consistent with the company’s efforts to focus on its food operations.

     Bruce L. Rosa, president of Lancaster Colony’s Specialty Foods Group, said, “This acquisition provides us access to private-label accounts, new products and additional manufacturing flexibility as we plan to continue production at the Saraland facility. Marshall’s strength in the private-label channel nicely complements our Sister Schubert’s branded rolls.”

     “We remain interested in growing our specialty foods business through further good-fitting acquisitions such as Marshall Biscuit,” Mr. Rosa said. Marshall’s net sales to retail and foodservice customers in calendar 2006 totaled over $11 million.

     Lancaster Colony’s Specialty Foods Group focuses its branded retail products on the supermarket produce department and frozen case, and its foodservice products on national restaurant chains. Well-known products include T. Marzetti’s salad dressings, veggie and fruit dips; Chatham Village croutons; Cardini’s and Girard’s dressings; New York Brand and Mamma Bella frozen garlic breads; Sister Schubert’s frozen rolls; Reames frozen noodles and pastas; and Inn Maid premium dry egg noodles.
