Dear Sarah:

Your letter about your son and the "Parents of Galactosemic Children" conference was forwarded to me.   I think you will find
that there are many menu items at SUBWAY that do not contain galactose.  You can view all our current product ingredients at
http://www.subway.com just click on "nutrition" and then "US Product Ingredients".  I have also attached a document that tells
you "How to build a galactose-free sandwich" please let me know if you have any trouble opening this document up.  I will
send your additional request of coupons and food samples to one of our Public and Community Relations Coordinator, Chris
Kan (ext. 1771).  I hope this information is helpful and please do not hesitate to contact me should you have further questions -
good luck with the conference.

Sincerely,
Lanette Roulier, RD

*       Sesame Italian

Pick from the following type of galactose-free sandwiches:

*Roasted Chicken breast patty is dairy-free.  However chicken strips, which
are used on salads and on some local sandwiches, may contain dairy.  When
ordering a sandwich or salad with chicken make sure to request the chicken
patty.

The above information has been based on current information provided by
SUBWAY food manufacturers.  There may be variations in ingredients due to
use of alternate suppliers and product formula changes.

*A NOTE about Subway: Just because Subway says that the above items are galactose-free does not mean that they are galactose-free.
For example, as most of us are aware, tomatoes DO contain galactose. There are probably other items on this list that also contain galactose as well. My guess is that Subway means the items listed above are dairy-free or lactose free. Please check with your own Subway and use your own judgement when using such lists.
