(“Barington”) and others with respect to the common stock, no par value per share (the "Common Stock"), of Lancaster Colony Corporation, an Ohio corporation (the "Company").

ITEM 2. Identity and Background .

The second paragraph of Item 2 (a) – (c) of the Statement is hereby amended and restated as follows:

As of September 14, 2007, the Reporting Entities are the beneficial owners of, in the aggregate, 1,694,321 shares of Common Stock, representing approximately 5.58% of the shares of Common Stock presently outstanding.

ITEM 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration .

Item 3 of the Statement is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:

Since the filing of the Statement, Barington Companies Equity Partners, L.P., Barington Investments, L.P., Benchmark Opportunitas Fund plc, Barington Companies Offshore Fund, Ltd. and RJG Capital Partners, L.P. purchased an aggregate of 48,077 shares of Common Stock. All purchases of Common Stock by the Reporting Entities were made in open market transactions except for 20,000 shares purchased by Barington Companies Offshore Fund, Ltd. from Benchmark Opportunitas Fund plc in a private transaction, details of which are described in the attached Schedule. All purchases were funded by working capital, which may, at any given time, include margin loans made by brokerage firms in the ordinary course of business.

Item 4 of the Statement is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:

On September 17, 2007, James A. Mitarotonda, the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Barington Capital Group, L.P., sent a letter to John B. Gerlach, Jr., the Company’s Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer and President. The letter states that as a result of the past performance of the Board, including with respect to the matters detailed in the letter, the Reporting Entities lack confidence in the Board’s ability to improve shareholder value and faithfully uphold the interests of the Company’s public shareholders. Barington therefore intends to nominate alternative candidates for election to the Board at the Company’s 2007 Annual Meeting of Shareholders. A copy of the letter is attached as Exhibit 99.4 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.
