Company Secures Additional School District Partnerships, Adding Over 1,400 Schools to Its Growing Education Channel
LOS ANGELES, Jan. 17, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Barfresh Food Group Inc. (the “Company” or “Barfresh”) (Nasdaq: BRFH), a provider of frozen, ready-to-blend and ready-to-drink beverages, today announced multiple new customer wins on the West Coast education market, adding more than 1,400 schools. Many of these new school district partnerships are already actively serving Barfresh’s portfolio of better-for-you smoothie beverages, including its Twist & Go™ carton and bottled smoothie products, to their student populations.
These new schools include our new partnership with Revolution Foods, which serves approximately 900 schools and approximately 200,000 meals a day, and is the second largest school meal provider in California. Their meals are served during breakfast, lunch and supper throughout California and Nevada. Revolution Foods now serve Barfresh Twist & Go smoothies on its breakfast menus. Barfresh product offerings support Revolution Foods mission to serve trusted brands to their schools.
Daphne Roberts, Vice President of Menu and Nutrition at Revolution Foods, shared, “At Revolution Foods, our mission is to ensure every student has access to nutritious, high-quality meals. Barfresh smoothies align perfectly with our standards and have been a welcome addition to our K-12 menu, gaining excitement among students. The convenient grab-and-go format makes it easy for the 900 schools we serve across California and Nevada to offer a delicious and nutritious breakfast to students.”
Riccardo Delle Coste, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, stated, “We’re excited to announce these significant new partnerships on the West Coast. The successful implementation across many of these 1,400 schools reflects the effectiveness of our expanded sales network and broader product portfolio. With our current penetration at approximately 4.5% of the total U.S. education market - a figure that doesn't yet include our new Pop & Go™ product line - we see tremendous runway ahead for continued expansion. The positive response from these new customers reinforces the strong appeal of our better-for-you product offerings among school nutrition professionals and students alike, who appreciate our ability to deliver convenient, healthy options that meet federal nutritional guidelines while providing great taste."
