BEVERLY HILLS, Calif., Nov. 20, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Barfresh Food Group, Inc. (BRFH), a manufacturer of frozen, ready-to-blend beverages, is providing an update on recent business developments. In addition, the Company is filing its form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2015, with the SEC today.

Riccardo Delle Coste, the Company’s CEO stated, “We are very pleased to provide you with an update on the exciting developments of the business. On October 28th, we announced that we signed an agreement with PepsiCo North America Beverages, making them our exclusive sales representative in North America. We are incredibly proud to have PepsiCo North America Beverages as our sales representative, and we are already developing joint plans to expand our beverage offerings to a wide range of foodservice and restaurant operators. With the strong foundation we are establishing for our business, we look forward to significant growth for our company, in 2016 and beyond.”

Business Highlights

●         During October we entered into an agreement with PepsiCo North America Beverages, a division of PepsiCo, Inc., making PepsiCo our exclusive sales representative within the food service channel, to present Barfresh’s line of ready-to-blend smoothies and frozen beverages throughout the United States and Canada. The PepsiCo agreement will enable us to drive sales with PepsiCo’s enormous customer base. PepsiCo’s 1,000 + foodservice sales team will work with our sales team to sell, manage and maintain customer relationships.

●         Earlier this month we announced that we had signed a two-year sales agreement to serve bowling centers nationwide. The agreement covers 3,340 bowling centers across America, representing 70% of bowling centers located in the United States. We expect to begin selling through this contract during Q1 of 2016.

●         We continue to expand our exclusive distribution agreement with the nation’s leading food and beverage distributor. Our products have been rolled out to 38 regional locations, up from 30 at our last update in August, 2015, and are now in 21 states, with the addition of North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia and Kansas. Barfresh was recently selected as one of 16 products to be part of an exclusive innovation platform, where we receive focused sales and marketing efforts and mandatory inventory levels nationwide, incubating our product within the system.

●         We are continuing in-store testing with one of the Nation’s largest food service companies, representing thousands of locations. While this test process is time consuming, we are pleased with the progress and continue to move forward. In addition, during the past few months we have successfully developed customized product flavors for multiple significant national account customers, and have recently received approval to move into in-store testing in select markets during early 2016. We continue to move forward and make progress with national accounts representing 37,000 individual locations.

●         Our core business continues to grow, with sales for the quarter increasing 462% from the year ago quarter, and 35% sequentially, representing the beginning of an important transition in our business.

●         Earlier this week we announced the appointment of Timothy Trant as our Chief Customer Officer. Tim brings over 25 years of experience in the food and beverage industry with PepsiCo. Tim will be responsible for directly leading our growing sales force, expanding upon our growing relationship with the nation’s leading food and beverage distributor, and for establishing and maximizing the opportunity presented by our recently signed agreement with PepsiCo North America Beverages.

Joseph Tesoriero, the Company’s CFO, added, “We are extremely excited about our new agreement with PepsiCo North America Beverages, and are very focused on maximizing this opportunity. Expansion of our manufacturing capabilities is underway, and we expect to realize improvements to our operating margins as our business scales-up in 2016. We continue to be very well positioned to penetrate the frozen beverage category, which is experiencing the most rapid growth of any segment in the beverage industry.”
