Benecol Products Launched in UK Raisio Group plc STOCK EXCHANGE BULLETIN March 29, 1999, at 13.00 Finnish time BENECOL PRODUCTS LAUNCHED IN THE UNITED KINGDOM Raisio Group's partner McNeil Consumer Nutritionals Limited, a subsidiary of Johnson & Johnson, has begun deliveries and marketing of the Benecol range in the UK. The launch includes two Benecol spreads (normal and low fat) and Benecol cream cheese style products in two flavours. They have been developed in cooperation by Raisio and McNeil and are manufactured by Raisio Group's Margarine Division in Raisio. The major UK food chains are participating in Benecol's marketing and the products are carried by leading supermarkets across the country. They will be displayed as foodstuffs with margarines and cheeses. The recommended price is œ2.49 (VAT not included) for both the 250g pack of spread and the 200g pack of cream cheese. Benecol's cholesterol-lowering effect is stated clearly on the packs: "Helps actually lower cholesterol as part of a healthy diet". Some 70 per cent of UK adults have cholesterol-levels that exceed recommendations. This amounts to over 40 million people who should pay attention to cholesterol management in their diets. Raisio Staest US Inc.'s stanol ester plant in Charleston, South Carolina, in the United States has completed production-scale test runs and is standing by to begin deliveries of stanol ester for the Benecol products market launch in the US. The stanol ester for the Benecol products sold in Europe is manufactured by Raisio Staest Oy in Raisio. Both Raisio Staest Oy and Raisio Staest US Inc. are fully-owned subsidiaries of Raisio Group plc. Raisio Group plc Sten von Hellens Chief Information Officer +358 (0)40 554 8728
