(OTCQB: BRFH), a manufacturer of frozen, ready-to-blend and ready-to-drink beverages, announced it will be rolling out its new, ready-to-drink smoothie line, “Twist & Go”™, to the Pasco County School District in Florida. The initial order is for over 240,000 bottles in the first month alone and Barfresh anticipates a high, ongoing monthly usage. “Twist & Go”™ will be available next week to students of Pasco County who continue to receive breakfast and lunch assistance during the temporary closure of their schools due to COVID-19. Once these schools reopen, the smoothies will be available on each school’s breakfast menu and offered on an a la carte basis throughout the rest of the day.\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Barfresh launches ready-to-drink bottled smoothie in two great flavors\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n “Twist & Go”™ is a healthy, on-the-go option providing students 5 grams of protein as the smoothies contain four ounces of yogurt and a half-cup of fruit/fruit juice. These smoothies contain no added sugars, no preservatives, artificial flavors or colors and come in two great tasting flavors: strawberry banana and peach. Riccardo Delle Coste, the Company's CEO stated, \"We are very excited to expand our partnership with the Pasco County School District and introduce their student body to our new “Twist & Go”™ smoothies. This new offering significantly increases our penetration within this school district alone, doubling the school locations being served from kids in approximately 50 schools to kids in approximately 100 schools. It also serves as a complement to our easy pour bulk product in the schools we already service and shortens the sell-in process with new schools as there is no customer equipment required. Based on our initial success with Pasco County we have confidence this rollout will be the first of many new school districts to adopt our new “Twist & Go”™ smoothie offerings.” Stephanie Spicknall, RD, LD, Food & Nutrition Services Assistant Director of Pasco County Schools, commented, “We are thrilled to introduce the “Twist & Go”™ smoothies to our students. We have never been more challenged to feed students than we have the last several weeks during school closures. S...
