Cadbury's cocoa-based hot beverages co-manufacturing agreement

Premier Foods plc ('Premier') is pleased to announce that it has signed a
five-year agreement with Cadbury Trebor Bassett ('Cadbury') under which Premier
will manufacture instant cocoa-based hot beverages for Cadbury from May 2006.
This agreement will follow the expiry of the current cocoa-based beverages
manufacturing and distribution agreement in May 2006 as a result of which
Cadbury will market and distribute its total cocoa-based hot beverages portfolio
from May 2006. The products covered by the new agreement will continue to be
manufactured at Premier's Knighton factory and the anticipated financial impact
of moving to the new agreement is in line with our expectations.

Robert Schofield, Premier's Chief Executive said, 'I am delighted to have
secured this agreement with Cadbury which recognises the manufacturing expertise
of our Knighton factory.'

Premier is pleased to be issuing an AGM trading statement, tomorrow morning at
