"Real fermented yogurt has been considered a healthful food for thousands of
years," stated Suzanne Gardner, YoCream Director of Marketing, "Since the
1970's, YoCream has cultured its frozen yogurt through a traditional
fermentation process resulting in high culture counts in all of our frozen
yogurt products." Now, clinical studies have scientifically proven and
documented previously assumed health benefits of select probiotic culture
strains. "As the leader in the soft serve frozen yogurt industry, it is
important for us to be first to market with a frozen yogurt product enhanced
with an additional L. acidophilus probiotic that is backed by scientific
studies documenting health benefits."

New High Culture(TM) Frozen Yogurt supplements YoCream's existing product line
of live and active culture frozen yogurts. YoCream, with technical support
from Danisco, developed High Culture(TM) with L. acidophilus NCFM to supply a
high viable culture count which provides consumers with living microorganisms
at a daily dose demonstrated to promote health benefits. Enhanced with this
strain, High Culture(TM) Frozen Yogurt:
-- Supports good digestive health
-- Improves intestinal microbial balance
-- Aids in the digestion of dairy products
-- Inhibits harmful bacteria and promotes improved digestion

This new sweet creamy soft serve frozen yogurt has a natural yogurt flavor
profile, is nonfat, a good source of calcium, is low in sodium and contains
only 100 calories per 4 oz serving. Each serving contains 1 billion
Lactobacillus acidophilus NCFM cultures in addition to the S. thermophilus, L.
bulgaricus, L. lactis and L. acidophilus present in all other YoCream
products.

"HOWARU(R) Dophilus is the world's best documented Lactobacillus acidophilus
and the only L. acidophilus with its genome fully sequenced," remarked Peggy
Steele, Danisco Global Business Director. "Studies began on this strain in the
early 1970's, so there are many years of proven safety and efficacy." The
gastrointestinal tract is the body's largest immune organ, containing an
estimated 80% of all antibody-producing cells. An immune system that functions
optimally is an important safeguard against infectious and non-infectious
diseases, so the intestinal microflora represents one of the key elements in
support of this system. "We were pleased to work with YoCream to bring this
probiotic to the consumer in such an enjoyable product," stated Steele.

YoCream High Culture(TM) Frozen Yogurt with L. acidophilus NCFM promotes
improved digestion and improved intestinal microbial balance. According to
the American College of Gastroenterology, approximately one-third of the U.S.
adult population suffers from some type of gastrointestinal ailment. Studies
have shown that ingestion of probiotics is beneficial in maintaining the
body's delicate microbial balance, which is a critical factor in human health
and well-being.

"For us, it has always been a priority to develop delightful cultured products
that every consumer can enjoy," stated Gardner. YoCream produces over 50
varieties of frozen yogurt, all of which meet and exceed the National Yogurt
Association's (NYA) criteria for live and active cultured frozen yogurt. "In
fact, our Original Tart(TM) Frozen Yogurts and new High Culture(TM) Frozen
Yogurt even meet the NYA's higher culture requirements for refrigerated cup
yogurt. This means that consumers can enjoy their daily cultures by consuming
YoCream frozen yogurt, too." YoCream products display the official NYA Live
and Active Cultures seal. "We urge consumers to look for this distinctive seal
when they purchase frozen yogurt," concluded Gardner.
