Dramatically
Expands its School
Customers by over 30%
with the Addition of One New School District
to Serve the New "Twist

Product
Brevard
Public School District
Serve 73,000 Students Daily
LOS
ANGELES,
CA -- May 26, 2020 -- InvestorsHub NewsWire
-- Barfresh Food Group, Inc.
(OTCQB: BRFH), a manufacturer of frozen,
ready-to-blend and
ready-to-drink beverages,
announced
it
will
begin rolling out its
ready-to-drink smoothie line, "Twist & Go"™, to Brevard
Public Schools ("Brevard") in the upcoming 2020-2021 school
year.
Brevard is the 49th
largest school
district in the U.S. and the 9th
largest school district in
Florida, serving over 73,000 students daily across 105 schools. "Twist &
Go"™ will be rolled out to
approximately
100 schools as part of the
reimbursable
breakfast menu
and will
also be offered on an a la carte
basis throughout the rest of the day. Brevard is the second
school
district rollout for
Barfresh out of 14,000 districts nationwide
that
represent
98,000
schools.
Many
school districts continue to
serve
students two
meals a day remotely during school closures
due to
Covid-19. This is expected to continue
through the summer months and into the beginning of the new school
year. Given potential
changes to the way students are fed now and will be in the
future, Twist & Go"™
is a perfect
addition to any school menu as it enables administrators to easily
serve "grab and
go"
products during
these changing times and when breakfast and
lunch schedules return to normal. This enables school districts
to quickly adopt Barfresh's "Twist & Go"™ for entire
school districts. Brevard Public School
district will begin rolling out product in the fall of
2020.
"Twist
& Go"™ is a healthy, on-the-go
option that qualifies for the USDA
reimbursable meal program and is smart snack
compliant:
each smoothie contains four ounces of yogurt and a
half-cup of fruit/fruit juice and provides students 5 grams of
protein. These smoothies contain no
added sugars, no preservatives, no artificial flavors or colors
and come in two great tasting flavors: strawberry banana and
peach.
Riccardo Delle
Coste, the Barfresh's CEO stated,
"Brevard is one of the largest
districts in the nation and we are honored to be trusted with
providing their students a meal option that is not only great
tasting but also highly nutritious. Our new
"Twist & Go"™ offering has the potential to
dramatically increase our penetration within the school channel. We
announced this new product offering a month ago, and the initial response from schools across
the United States has exceeded our expectations,
given the Covid-19 pandemic. We expect to attract
additional
districts in the upcoming school
year."
Mr. Delle Coste
continued, "Our new "Twist &
Go"™ offerings enables us to expand our school channel
with entire school districts instead of school by school with our
existing easy pour bulk offering. "Twist &
Go"™ dramatically
increases
our growth
opportunities in this channel. In addition,
it
serves as a
complement to our easy pour bulk product in the schools
that
we already
service and shortens the sell-in process with districts, as there is no customer
equipment required. "
Laurie Conlin,
RD, LD, District Food & Nutrition
Manager of
Brevard County Schools, commented, "Brevard Public Schools Food
and Nutrition Services is excited to make the "Twist & Go"™
smoothies available as a healthy breakfast and a la carte choice to
our students in the upcoming school year. The smoothies taste great
and contain clean label, healthy ingredients to provide students
with essential nutrients and the fuel they need for
learning."
