SBARRO RESTAURANTS ARE NOW OFFER VEGGIE SLICE PIZZAS

ORLANDO, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE FEATURES)--May 12, 1998--Galaxy Foods Co. (NASDAQ:GALX) is pleased to announce that Sbarro restaurants are now offering Veggie Slice pizzas made with Galaxy's Formägg Low Fat, Low Cholesterol and Lactose Free Mozzarella.

Sbarro is an international chain of family-style Italian restaurants featuring a menu of popular Italian food, including pizza with a variety of toppings, a selection of pasta dishes and other hot and cold Italian entrees, salads, sandwiches and desserts.

The Sbarro Veggie Slice pizza featuring Formägg Low Fat Mozzarella was recently introduced and initial consumer reaction is, to quote many store managers, "very positive." Customers are amazed that the Sbarro Veggie Slice tastes just like any other pizza. Other consumers are thrilled to discover they can eat pizza again. Low Fat, Low Cholesterol, Lactose Free Formägg cheese appeals to a broad spectrum of consumers including women (who represent the most health-conscious segment of the population), those who are concerned about their fat and cholesterol intake for health or diet reasons, and anyone who is lactose intolerant (all Asians, most African-Americans and Hispanics, and most everyone over the age of 50).

Angelo Morini, president & CEO of Galaxy said: " Formägg will revolutionize the way we think about pizza. I like to compare this to the introduction of low and non-fat yogurts. When they were first introduced, there were only a few to choose from. Now, it's hard to find a full-fat yogurt on the shelf. We would like to see the same thing happen with pizza."

All natural, nutritionally balanced Formägg Low Fat, Low Cholesterol and Lactose Free Mozzarella provides a delicious and healthy addition to the Sbarro menu of traditional pizzas. You can choose from five delicious Veggie Pizza recipes featuring Formägg mozzarella.

Galaxy Foods produces a complete line of healthy and conventional cheese and dairy alternatives for the retail, foodservice and industrial markets. Brand names include Formägg ®, Veggie®, Soyco®, Soymage® , Lite Bakery®, and Wholesome Valley®.
