Barfresh Names Industry Veteran Director of Manufacturing and Product Development

DENVER, CO--(Marketwire - Jan 16, 2013) - Barfresh Food Group, Inc. (OTCBB: BRFH) ("Barfresh Food Group" "Barfresh" or the "Company"), a manufacturer and distributor of unique ready to blend beverages, today announced that Craig J. Bennett, an industry veteran, has been named Director of Manufacturing and Product Development for the Company. This is a newly created position in response to Barfresh's growth.

Riccardo Delle Coste, Barfresh CEO, said, "Craig has more than 30 years of diverse product development experience that includes retail, food service, and flavor/ingredient applications. He has worked for major companies such as Kraft/General Foods, Unilever, and ICI and last held the position of Global Director of Quality and Product Development at Mrs. Fields Famous Brands where he was responsible for all of the company's iconic brands, such as TCBY, Yovana and Mrs. Fields Cookies. Craig's addition to our team provides Barfresh with significant depth as we roll out our smoothies in a number of well-known chains in 2013. Many of our customers require specialized and proprietary flavors to afford each its own competitive edge. Craig has already been instrumental in our efforts in this area, as he was responsible for the development of the recently-approved smoothie flavors being tested at a major casino operation. We welcome him as we prepare for significant growth in 2013."

Mr. Bennett holds an MS in Food Science from Rutgers Graduate School and received a BA in Biological Sciences with an emphasis in Biochemistry also from Rutgers College.
