                      ARMANINO FOODS OF DISTINCTION, INC.
                   ANNOUNCES PLANS TO VOLUNTARILY TERMINATE
                      SEC REGISTRATION AND NASDAQ LISTING

     Hayward, CA (March 10, 2005) Armanino Foods of Distinction, Inc. (NASDAQ
Small Cap Symbol: ARMF) announced today that its board of directors has
unanimously approved the termination of the Company's SEC registration and
NASDAQ listing.  The filing of a Form 15-Certification and Notice of
Termination with the SEC is expected to be made on or about May 13, 2005.
William J. Armanino, President and CEO of Armanino Foods said, "The board has
taken this action after careful and deliberate consideration of the costs and
benefits of continued SEC registration and our NASDAQ listing.  We have noted
with interest the many reports appearing in the financial press that hundreds
of strong, stable but small public companies have decided or are considering
the same action.  Ultimately we also decided that the increased devotion of
board and management time to compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and NASDAQ
listing requirements, as well as the financial burden of increased auditing
and legal fees and costs made necessary by the compliance requirements,
clearly outweighed the benefits of SEC registration and NASDAQ listing.  We
believe that our shareholders will be much better served if we devote more of
our management time and financial resources to product development and sales
and marketing rather than legal and accounting compliance matters."

     Effective at the time the Form 15 is filed, the Company's obligations to
file periodic reports with the SEC will be immediately suspended and the
Company's common stock will no longer be traded on NASDAQ.   The Company
expects that its common stock will continue to be quoted through the Pink
Sheets Electronic Quotation Service, although the Company can make no
assurance that the Company's stock will be quoted on the Pink Sheets. The
Company intends to file its Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended
December 31, 2004 in a timely manner, but does not plan to file a Quarterly
Report on Form 10-QSB for the quarter ended March 31, 2005.

     The Company is eligible to deregister because as of the end of 2004 it
had fewer than 500 shareholders of record and as of the end of 2002, 2003 and
2004 had less than $10 million in assets.  Although following deregistration
the Company will no longer be required to file Forms 10-KSB, 10-QSB, 8-K and
proxy statements, the Company will continue to have its financial statements
audited and expects to make quarterly and annual financial and other
information publicly available, including by posting such information on its
website, www.armaninofoods.com, and on www.pinksheets.com.

     Armanino concluded, "Quite frankly, despite the deregistration we don't
expect that the Company's approach to financial reporting, communications with
the marketplace and internal controls will change in any material way.  We
believe this decision will be good for our shareholders as we will be able to
focus more attention and financial resources to support our strategies to grow
our business and maintain our dividend policy.  We do not believe that
deregistration will prevent us from taking advantage of any opportunities that
the marketplace may present to us, or to materially restrict us from
implementing our business strategies."

      Armanino is an international food company that manufactures and markets
frozen pestos, filled pasta products, meatballs, cooked meat, cooked poultry
products, garlic spreads and focaccia to the retail, food service, club
stores, institutional, and industrial food industry segments.
