YAVNE, ISRAEL - APRIL 20, 2009 - G. WILLI-FOOD INTERNATIONAL LTD. (NASDAQ: WILC)
(the "COMPANY" or "WILLI FOOD"), announced today that on April 16, 2009 it had
been served with a purported class action lawsuit which had been filed against
the Company. The complaint alleges that the Company misled its customers by
illegal marking of a product that the Company imports and sells as "suger free",
according to The Israeli CONSUMER PROTECTION LAW, 1981.

The group which the lawsuit desires to represent are any Israeli resident who
bought this product due to such person's preference for a suger free or a
reduced suger product (the "Group"). According to the plaintiff, the Group
consists of 2,000 customers. The plaintiff appraises its own damages at NIS
2,000 (approximately USD 500) and the damages of the entire Group to be NIS 4
million (approximately USD 1 million).

At this preliminary stage, the Company is examining the plaitiff's alleged
claims, and it will respond and relate to the allegations, to the extent
necessary, after its examination and after consulting with its legal advisors.
