                         WARRANT TO PURCHASE SECURITIES
                                       OF
                         GALAXY NUTRITIONAL FOODS, INC.

                            Void after June 11, 2012

     This  Warrant is issued to Douglas  Walsh,  or assigns (the  "Holder"),  by
GALAXY NUTRITIONAL FOODS, INC., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"),  on June
11, 2002 (the "Warrant Issue Date").

     1.   NUMBER  OF  SHARES  SUBJECT  TO  WARRANT.  Subject  to the  terms  and
conditions hereinafter set forth, the Holder is entitled, upon surrender of this
Warrant at the principal office of the Company, to purchase from the Company, at
a price equal to the Exercise  Price (as defined in Section 2 below),  shares of
the Warrant Stock.

     For purposes of this Warrant:

          (A) "Common  Stock" shall mean the Company's  common stock,  $0.01 par
value.

          (B) "Warrant  Stock" shall mean 2,143 shares of the  Company's  Common
Stock, subject to adjustment as described in Section 7 below.

          (C) "Shares" shall mean fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common
Stock.

     2.   EXERCISE  PRICE.  The per share purchase price for the Shares shall be
$4.99 (the "Exercise Price").  The Exercise Price shall be subject to adjustment
pursuant to Section 7 hereof.

     3.   EXERCISE PERIOD. Except as otherwise provided for herein, this Warrant
shall be exercisable, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time. On
the Expiration Date, all Warrants  evidenced hereby shall thereafter be void and
of no further force and effect. Whether or not surrendered to the Company by the
Holder, this Warrant shall be deemed canceled upon the expiration hereof.

<PAGE>

     4.   METHOD  OF  EXERCISE.  While  this  Warrant  remains  outstanding  and
exercisable  in  accordance  with Section 3 hereof,  the purchase  rights hereby
represented may be exercised in whole or in part, at the election of the Holder,
by the tender of the  Notice of  Exercise  in  substantially  the form  attached
hereto as Exhibit A and the surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of
the Company and by the payment to the Company in cash, by check, cancellation of
indebtedness  or other form of payment  acceptable to the Company,  of an amount
equal to the then applicable  Exercise Price  multiplied by the number of Shares
then being purchased.

     5.   CERTIFICATES  FOR SHARES.  Upon the  exercise of the  purchase  rights
evidenced by this Warrant,  one or more certificates for the number of Shares so
purchased shall be issued as soon as practicable  thereafter  (with  appropriate
restrictive legends, as applicable).

     6.   ISSUANCE OF SHARES. The Company hereby covenants that it will duly and
validly  reserve  shares of Common  Stock for  issuance  upon  exercise  of this
Warrant.  The Company  covenants  that the Shares,  when issued  pursuant to the
exercise  of this  Warrant,  will be duly and  validly  issued,  fully  paid and
nonassessable  and free from all taxes,  liens,  and charges with respect to the
issuance  thereof.  The Shares issued  hereunder  shall have the same rights and
obligations  pertaining to the other shares of Common Stock issued previously by
the Company.

     7.   ADJUSTMENT OF EXERCISE  PRICE AND NUMBER OF SHARES.  The number of and
kind of  securities  purchasable  upon exercise of this Warrant and the Exercise
Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows:

          (a)  SUBDIVISIONS,  COMBINATIONS AND OTHER  ISSUANCES.  If the Company
shall at any time prior to the exercise or expiration of this Warrant  subdivide
its Common  Stock,  by split-up or otherwise,  or combine its Common  Stock,  or
issue  additional  Common Stock as a dividend  with respect to any of its Common
Stock,  the number of Shares  issuable  on the  exercise of this  Warrant  shall
forthwith be  proportionately  increased in the case of a  subdivision  or stock
dividend, or proportionately decreased in the case of a combination. Appropriate
adjustments  shall  also  be made  to the  Exercise  Price,  provided  that  the
aggregate  Exercise  Price  payable  hereunder  for the  total  number of Shares
purchasable  under  this  Warrant  (as  adjusted)  shall  remain  the same.  Any
adjustment  under this  Section  7(a)  shall  become  effective  at the close of
business on the date the subdivision or combination becomes effective,  or as of
the record date of such dividend,  or in the event that no record date is fixed,
upon the making of such dividend.

          (b) RECLASSIFICATION,  REORGANIZATION AND CONSOLIDATION.  In the event
of  any  corporate  reclassification,  capital  reorganization,   consolidation,
spin-off or change in the Common Stock of the Company (other than as a result of
a  subdivision,  combination,  or dividend  provided for in Section 7(a) above),
then, as a condition of such event,  lawful  provision  shall be made,  and duly
executed  documents  evidencing the same from the Company or its successor shall
be delivered to the Holder,  so that the Holder shall have the right at any time
prior to the  expiration of this Warrant to purchase,  at a total price equal to
that payable upon the exercise of this Warrant, the kind and amount of shares of
stock and/or other  securities and property  receivable in connection  with such
event by a holder of the same number of shares for which this Warrant could have
been exercised  immediately  prior to such event.  In any such case  appropriate
provisions  shall be made with  respect to the rights and interest of the Holder
so that the provisions hereof shall thereafter be applicable with respect to any
shares of stock or other  securities  and  property  deliverable  upon  exercise
hereof,  and  appropriate  adjustments  shall  be  made to the  Exercise  Price,
provided  that the  aggregate  exercise  price  payable  hereunder for the total
number of Shares  purchasable  under this Warrant (as adjusted) shall remain the
same.

                                      -2-
<PAGE>

          (c)  ADJUSTMENT  TO NUMBER OF  SHARES.  Upon  each  adjustment  of the
Exercise Price, the number of Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrant shall
be  increased  to equal  the  quotient  obtained  by  dividing  (x) the  product
resulting from  multiplying  (i) the number of Shares  issuable upon exercise of
the Warrant,  and (ii) the Exercise Price, in each case as in effect immediately
before such adjustment by (y) the adjusted Exercise Price.

          (d) NOTICE OF  ADJUSTMENT.  When any adjustment is required to be made
to the  Exercise  Price or in the  number  or kind of  Shares  purchasable  upon
exercise of the Warrant,  the Company shall  promptly  notify the Holder of such
event and of the adjusted Exercise Price or number of Shares or other securities
or property thereafter purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant.

     8.   ASSUMPTION  OF WARRANT.  If at any time,  while this  Warrant,  or any
portion  thereof,  is outstanding and unexpired there shall be an acquisition of
the  Company  by  another  entity  by  means  of  a  merger,  reorganization  or
consolidation of the Company or any other transaction in which the owners of the
Company's  outstanding  voting power  immediately prior to such transaction own,
directly or  indirectly,  less than 51% of the voting power of the  resulting or
surviving  entity  immediately upon completion of such  transaction,  then, as a
part of such  acquisition,  lawful  provision  shall be made so that the  Holder
shall  thereafter be entitled to receive upon  exercise of this Warrant,  during
the period  specified  herein and upon payment of the aggregate  Exercise  Price
then in effect, the number of shares of stock or other securities or property of
the successor  corporation resulting from such acquisition which a holder of the
Shares  deliverable  upon  exercise of this Warrant  would have been entitled to
receive in such  acquisition  if this  Warrant  had been  exercised  immediately
before such acquisition.

     9.   NO  FRACTIONAL   SHARES  OR  SCRIP.  No  fractional  Shares  or  scrip
representing  fractional  Shares  shall  be  issued  upon the  exercise  of this
Warrant,  but in lieu of any  fractional  Share the  Company  shall  make a cash
payment  therefor on the basis of the closing  sale price of the Common Stock on
the AMEX Stock Exchange (or any successor  exchange or quotation system on which
the Common Stock is listed or quoted) on the date of exercise.

     10.  NO SHAREHOLDER RIGHTS.  Prior to exercise of this Warrant,  the Holder
shall not be entitled to any rights of a shareholder with respect to the Shares,
including (without limitation) the right to vote such Shares,  receive dividends
or other  distributions  thereon,  exercise  preemptive rights or be notified of
shareholder  meetings,  and such  Holder  shall not be entitled to any notice or
other communication concerning the business or affairs of the Company.  However,
nothing in this  Section 10 shall  limit the right of the Holder to be  provided
the notices required under this Warrant or the Purchase Agreement.

     11.  COMPLIANCE WITH SECURITIES ACT; TRANSFERABILITY OF WARRANT OR SHARES.

          (a) Compliance With Securities Act. The Holder, by acceptance  hereof,
agrees that this Warrant, and the Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant,
are being acquired for  investment and that such Holder will not offer,  sell or
otherwise dispose of this Warrant,  or any Shares issuable upon exercise of this
Warrant,  except under circumstances which will not result in a violation of the
Securities Act, or any applicable  state  securities  laws. This Warrant and all
Shares  issued  upon  exercise  of this  Warrant  (unless  registered  under the
Securities Act and any  applicable  state  securities  laws) shall be stamped or
imprinted with a legend in substantially the following form:

     "THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF
     1933,  AS AMENDED (THE  "SECURITIES  ACT"),  OR ANY  APPLICABLE  STATE
     SECURITIES  LAW AND MAY NOT BE  SOLD,  OFFERED  FOR  SALE,  MORTGAGED,
     PLEDGED, HYPOTHECATED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED

                                      -3-
<PAGE>

     EXCEPT  PURSUANT  TO AN  EFFECTIVE  REGISTRATION  STATEMENT  UNDER THE
     SECURITIES  ACT  AND  ANY  APPLICABLE  STATE  SECURITIES  LAWS,  OR AN
     EXEMPTION THEREFROM, AND, IF REQUESTED BY THE COMPANY, THE COMPANY HAS
     RECEIVED  AN OPINION OF COUNSEL  SATISFACTORY  TO THE  COMPANY TO THAT
     EFFECT.  THIS WARRANT HAS BEEN ACQUIRED FOR  INVESTMENT AND NOT WITH A
     VIEW TO DISTRIBUTION OR RESALE."

          (b) TRANSFERABILITY. Subject to compliance with applicable federal and
state securities laws, this Warrant and all rights hereunder are transferable in
whole or in part by the Holder to any person or entity  upon  written  notice to
the Company. The transfer shall be recorded on the books of the Company upon the
surrender  of this  Warrant,  properly  endorsed  for transfer by delivery of an
Assignment Form in  substantially  the form attached hereto as Exhibit B, to the
Company at the  address  set forth in Section 15 hereof,  and the payment to the
Company of all transfer  taxes and other  governmental  charges  imposed on such
transfer.  In the event of a partial  transfer,  the Company  shall issue to the
holders one or more appropriate new warrants.

     12.  RESTRICTED  SECURITIES.  The Holder  understands that this Warrant and
the Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, will not be registered at the
time of their  issuance  under the  Securities  Act for the reason that the sale
provided for herein and in the Purchase  Agreement is exempt pursuant to Section
4(2) of the Securities Act based on the  representations of the Holder set forth
in the Purchase  Agreement.  The Holder  represents  that it is  experienced  in
evaluating  companies such as the Company,  has such knowledge and experience in
financial  and business  matters as to be capable of  evaluating  the merits and
risks of its  investment,  and has the  ability  to suffer the total loss of the
investment. The Holder further represents that it has had the opportunity to ask
questions  of and  receive  answers  from the Company  concerning  the terms and
conditions  of  this  Warrant,  the  business  of the  Company,  and  to  obtain
additional  information  to  such  Holder's  satisfaction.  The  Holder  further
represents that it is an "accredited  investor" within the meaning of Regulation
D under  the  Securities  Act,  as  presently  in  effect.  The  Holder  further
represents that this Warrant is being acquired for the account of the Holder for
investment only and not with a view to, or with any intention of, a distribution
or  resale  thereof,  in  whole or in part,  or the  grant of any  participation
therein.

     13.  SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. The terms and provisions of this Warrant shall
inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon, the Company and the Holders hereof
and their respective successors and assigns.

     14.  AMENDMENTS  AND  WAIVERS.  Any term of this Warrant may be amended and
the observance of any term of this Warrant may be waived (either generally or in
a  particular  instance and either  retroactively  or  prospectively),  with the
written consent of the Company and the Holder.

     15.  NOTICES.  All notices  required  under this Warrant shall be deemed to
have been given or made for all purposes (i) upon personal  delivery,  (ii) upon
confirmation  receipt  that  the  communication  was  successfully  sent  to the
applicable  number if sent by  facsimile,  (iii) one day after being sent,  when
sent by  professional  overnight  courier  service,  or (iv) three business days
after posting when sent by registered or certified mail.  Notices to the Company
shall be sent to the  address of the  Company  set forth below (or at such other
place as the Company  shall notify the Holder  hereof in writing) and notices to
the Holder  shall be sent to the  address  of the Holder set forth  below (or at

                     GALAXY NUTRITIONAL FOODS COMPANY, INC.

                        INCENTIVE STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT
                        --------------------------------

     Galaxy Foods Company, a Delaware corporation (the"Company"),  hereby grants
as of the 8TH OF JULY,  2002,  to SALVATORE J.  FURNARI,  (the  "Optionee"),  an
option to  purchase a maximum of 20,000  shares of its  Common  Stock,  $.01 par
value,  at the price of $4.55 per share (the  "Option"),  on the following terms
and conditions:

     1.   GRANT UNDER 1996 STOCK PLAN. The Option is granted  pursuant to and is
governed by the Company's  1996 Stock Plan (the "Plan") and,  unless the context
otherwise  requires,  terms used  herein  shall have the same  meaning as in the
Plan.  Determinations  made in connection  with this option pursuant to the Plan
shall be governed by the Plan as it exists on this date.

     2.   GRANT AS INCENTIVE  STOCK OPTION;  OTHER OPTIONS.  The Option shall be
treated for federal  income tax  purposes as an  incentive  stock  option  under
Section 422A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code").  The
option is in addition to any other options  heretofore  or hereafter  granted to
the Optionee by the Company,  but a duplicate  original of this instrument shall
not affect the grant of another option.

     3.   EXTENT  OF  OPTION  IF  EMPLOYMENT  CONTINUES.  If  the  Optionee  has
continued to be employed by the Company on the following dates, the Optionee may
exercise the Option for the number of shares set opposite the applicable date:

          6,667 options     -        vesting on July 8, 2003
          6,667 options     -        vesting on July 8, 2004
          6,666 options     -        vesting on July 8, 2005

     In the event of a change in ownership  of the Company,  that portion of the
Option  which has not yet vested as of the date of such  event will  immediately
vest and become exercisable  simultaneously  with the consummation of the change
in ownership.

     The foregoing rights are cumulative and, while the Optionee continues to be
employed by the Company, all vested options may be exercised up to and including
the date which is ten years from the date hereof.  All of the  foregoing  rights
are subject to Articles 4 and 5, as  appropriate,  if the Optionee  ceases to be
employed by the

<PAGE>

Company or dies or becomes disabled while in the employ of the Company.

     4.   TERMINATION  OF EMPLOYMENT.  If the Optionee  ceases to be employed by
the Company,  other than by reason of death or  disability as defined in Article
5, no further installments of the Option shall become exercisable and the vested
portion of the Option shall terminate at the earlier of sixty (60) days from the
date  employment  ceases or the scheduled  expiration  date.  In such case,  the
optionee's  only rights  hereunder  shall be those which are properly  exercised
before the termination of the Option.

     5.   DEATH;  DISABILITY.  If the  Optionee  dies while in the employ of the
Company,  the  Option  may be  exercised,  to the extent of the number of shares
vested as of the date of his death, by his estate,  personal  representative  or
beneficiary  to whom the Option has been assigned  pursuant to Article 9, at any
time within 180 days after the date of death,  but not later than the  scheduled
expiration  date. If the Optionee ceases to be employed by the Company by reason
of his disability  (as defined in the Plan),  the Option may be exercised to the
extent exercisable on the date of the termination of his employment, at any time
within  180 days  after  such  termination,  but not  later  than the  scheduled
expiration  date.  At the  expiration  of such 180 day  period or the  scheduled
expiration date,  whichever is the earlier, the Option shall terminate and be of
no further force and effect.

     6.   PARTIAL EXERCISE. Exercise of the Option up to the extent above stated
may be made in part at any time and from time to time  within the above  limits,
except that the Option may not be exercised for a fraction of a share.

     7.   PAYMENT OF PRICE.  The option  price is  payable,  upon  exercise,  in
United States dollars and may be paid in cash or by check, or any combination of
the foregoing, equal in amount to the option price.

     8.   METHOD OF EXERCISING  OPTION.  Subject to the terms and  conditions of
this Agreement, the Option may be exercised by written notice to the Company, at
the principal  executive office of the Company, or to such transfer agent as the
Company  shall  designate.  Such notice shall state the election to exercise the
Option and the number of shares in  respect of which it is being  exercised  and
shall be signed by the person or persons so exercising  the Option.  Such notice
shall be accompanied  by payment of the full purchase price of such shares,  and
the Company shall deliver a certificate or certificates representing such shares
as soon as practicable  after the notice shall be received.  The  certificate or
certificates  for the shares as to which the Option shall have been so exercised
shall be  registered in the name of the person or person  exercising  the Option
(or,  if the Option  shall be  exercised  by the  Optionee  and  another  person
jointly,  with right and  survivorship) and shall be delivered as provided above
to or upon the written order of the person or persons exercising the Option. All
shares  that shall be  purchased  upon the  exercise  of the Option as  provided
herein shall be fully paid and non-assessable.

     9.   OPTION NOT TRANSFERABLE.  The Option is not transferable or assignable
except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. During the Optionee's
lifetime only the Optionee can exercise the Option.

     10.  NO  OBLIGATION  TO EXERCISE  OPTION.  The grant and  acceptance of the
Option imposes no obligation on the Optionee to exercise it.

     11.  NO  OBLIGATION  TO  CONTINUE  EMPLOYMENT.  The Company and any Related
Corporations as defined in the Plan are not by the Plan or the Option  obligated
to continue the Optionee in employment.

     12.  NO RIGHTS AS STOCKHOLDER  UNTIL EXERCISE.  The Optionee shall have not
rights as a stockholder with respect to shares subject to this Agreement until a
stock  certificate  therefor  has been issued to the  Optionee and is fully paid
for. Except as is expressly provided in the Plan with respect to certain changes
in the capitalization of the Company,  no adjustment shall be made for dividends
or  similar  rights  for which the  record  date is prior to the date such stock
certificate is issued.

     13.  CAPITAL  CHANGES AND  BUSINESS  SUCCESSIONS.  It is the purpose of the
Option to encourage  the Optionee to work for the best  interests of the Company
and its stockholders.  Since, for example,  that might require the issuance of a
stock dividend or a merger with another  corporation,  the purpose of the Option
would not be served if such stock dividend,  merger or similar  occurrence would
cause the  Optionee's  rights  hereunder to be diluted or terminated and thus be
contrary to the  Optionee's  interest.  The Plan contains  extensive  provisions
designed  to  preserve  options  at full  value  in a number  of  contingencies.
Therefore, provisions in the Pan for adjustment with respect to stock subject to
options and the related provisions with respect to successors to the business of
the Company are hereby made applicable  hereunder and are incorporated herein by
reference. In particular,  without affecting the generality of the foregoing, it
is  understood  that for the  purposes  of  Articles  3 through  5 hereof,  both
inclusive,   employment  by  the  Company  includes   employment  by  a  Related
Corporation as defined in the Plan.

     14.  PROVISION OF DOCUMENTATION OF OPTIONEE.  By signing this Agreement the
Optionee  acknowledges  receipt  of a copy of this  Agreement  and a copy of the
Company's 1996 Stock Plan.

     15.  EARLY  DISPOSITION.  The  Employee  agrees to notify  the  Company  in
writing immediately after the Employee makes a Disqualifying  Disposition of any
Common Stock received  pursuant to the exercise of this option.  A Disqualifying
Disposition is any disposition  (including any sale) of such Common Stock before
the later of (a) two years after the date the  Employee  was granted this option
or (b) one year after the date the Employee  acquired Common Stock be exercising
this option.  If the Employee has died before such stock is sold,  these holding
period  requirements  do not apply and no  Disqualifying  Disposition  can occur
thereafter. The Employee also agrees to provide the Company with any information
which it shall request concerning any such

disposition. The Employee acknowledges that he or she will forfeit the favorable
income tax treatment  otherwise  available  with respect to the exercise of this
incentive  stock option if he or she makes a  Disqualifying  Disposition  of the
stock received on exercise of this option.

     16.  WITHHOLDING TAXES. If the Company in its discretion determines that it
is obligated to withhold tax with  respect to a  Disqualifying  Disposition  (as
defined in Article 15) of Common  Stock  received by the Employee on exercise of
this option,  the Employee  hereby agrees that the Company may withhold from the
Employee's wages the appropriate amount of Federal,  state and local withholding
taxes  attributable to such  Disqualifying  Disposition.  If any portion of this
option is treated as a Non-Qualified Option, the Employee hereby agrees that the
Company  may  withhold  from the  Employee's  wages  the  appropriate  amount of
Federal,  state and  local  withholding  taxes  attributable  to the  Employee's
exercise of such Non-Qualified Option. At the Company's  discretion,  the amount
required  to be  withheld  may be  withheld  in cash from such  wages,  of (with
respect to compensation  income  attributable to the exercise of this option) in
kind from the Common Stock other wise deliverable to the Optionee on exercise of
this Option.  The Employee further agrees that, if the Company does not withhold
an  amount  from the  Employee's  wages  sufficient  to  satisfy  the  Company's
withholding  obligation,  the Employee will reimburse the Company on demand,  in
cash, for the amount underwithheld.

     17.  GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement  shall be governed by and interpreted in
accordance with the internal laws of the State of Delaware.

     18.  EXPIRATION. This Option shall expire at 5:00 p.m. Orlando time on July
8, 2012.  Whether or not  surrendered to the Company by the holder,  this Option
shall be deemed cancelled upon expiration hereof.

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF the Company and the Optionee have caused this instrument
to be executed,  and the Optionee  whose  signature  appears below  acknowledges
receipt  of a copy  of the  Plan  and  acceptance  of an  original  copy of this
Agreement.
