PINNACLE FOODS GROUP INC. APPOINTS NEW CEO

MOUNTAIN LAKES, NEW JERSEY. Pinnacle Foods Group Inc. announced today that the Company’s Board of Directors has appointed Jeffrey P. Ansell as Chief Executive Officer, effective July 5, 2006, replacing C. Dean Metropoulos, who had previously announced that he would be stepping down as CEO in the near future but who will remain with the Company as Chairman.

C. Dean Metropoulos, who led the search for a new CEO said: “We have been fortunate during this CEO search to meet with a number of outstanding candidates. At the conclusion of the search it was clear that Mr. Ansell was the right candidate for Pinnacle based on the accomplishments in his career and his personal leadership skills.”

Mr. Ansell, 47, brings with him 25 years of experience in consumer products management. As a Procter & Gamble Corporate Officer, he was most recently President of The Iams Company, where he had been chosen to lead P&G’s entry into the pet nutrition business, following P&G’s acquisition of The Iams Company in 1999. Under his leadership, sales increased nearly $1.0 billion dollars and the Iams brand in North America grew from the No. 5 pet food brand to No. 1. The acquisition of The Iams Company is broadly regarded as one of P&G’s most successful acquisitions. Prior to Iams, Mr. Ansell had various executive management roles within P&G, including General Manager of the North American and European Baby Care businesses (Pampers^® and Luvs^® diapers) for which he spent several years in Europe as well as senior marketing leadership positions working on brands such as Pringles^® , Sunny Delight^® and Folgers^®.

“I’m very excited to join Pinnacle, and the collection of fine brands it has assembled the past few years,” said Jeffrey Ansell, incoming CEO. “Dean Metropoulos, along with J. P. Morgan Partners and J. W. Childs have an enviable track record of success,” Mr. Ansell said. “I look forward to building on my experiences at a world-class institution like P&G, and to working closely with the strong team at Pinnacle to take the business to the next level.”

“We are very pleased to have Jeff take over at Pinnacle at this time” said C. Dean Metropoulos. “Pinnacle has undergone a tremendous restructuring and transformation over the past two years and we feel very confident in the company’s ability to grow as we move forward. Jeff certainly brings the skills, intelligence and integrity that we were looking for in a CEO to optimize the growth potential of Pinnacle’s iconic brands”
