ITEM 5. OTHER EVENTS

         Effective September 22, 1997, IPS Produce, Inc., ("IPSP"), one of the
U.S. subsidiaries of EPL Technologies, Inc. ("EPL") executed a ten year
exclusive trademark license agreement and strategic alliance with Potandon
Produce LLC ("Potandon"), a "Green Giant Fresh(TM)" brand licensee of the
Pillsbury Company.

         Under this agreement, which may be extended beyond August 2007, and is
subject to the terms of Potandon's license of the "Green Giant Fresh(TM)" brand
from the Pillsbury Company, certain minimum royalties and other customary
provisions, EPL will sell fresh-cut potato products, such as french fries, to
the wholesale foodservice industry under the "Green Giant Fresh(TM)" brand name,
utilizing EPL's "Potato Fresh(TM)" processing aid technologies and related
protocols.

        This agreement supercedes and replaces a letter of intent, announced in
February 1996, between EPL and Potandon, which had a somewhat different focus
than the current agreement.

        The fresh-cut potato products will be sold to the food service industry
through IPSP, and will be produced by IPSP, using raw materials from Potandon,
in conjunction with one or more co-packers, expected to be operating at several
sites around the US.
