BEVERLY HILLS, Calif., July 31, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Barfresh Food Group, Inc. (OTCQB:BRFH), a manufacturer of frozen, ready-to-blend beverages, today announced the introduction of a new range of smoothies in response to customer demand that fulfills the requirements set forth by the USDA within its national school meal programs which include the School Breakfast Program, the National School Lunch Program, and Smart Snacks in School Program. These programs provide the mechanism by which schools can be reimbursed for daily meals provided to over 40 million needs-based students on a daily basis nationally. Barfresh is addressing this market with a product that contains a minimum of a half cup of real fruit and four ounces of yogurt for every eight ounce serving, has no added sugar, no artificial ingredients or preservatives, and meets all the restricted calorie requirements among other criteria.
Riccardo Delle Coste, the Company's CEO stated, "School administrators continue to migrate toward healthier options for their students, led in large part by the USDA’s efforts to create nutrient-dense meals by increasing the availability of fruits, vegetables and whole grains while curtailing sodium on school menus. Barfresh’s all-natural frozen beverages, made with real fruit, no added sugars and no artificial preservatives, are a perfect match for administrators that are attempting to strike a balance between driving nutrition and generating student acceptance of new menu options. This new product was developed in response to a stated need within America’s school meal programs and we are excited to begin satisfying this demand as we work with the administrative staff and demonstrate that we can be a valued partner in this broader effort.”
