HILLS, Calif. – October 28, 2015 –Barfresh Food Group, Inc. (OTCQB: BRFH), a leader in the ready-to-blend
frozen beverage category, is pleased to announce that it has signed an agreement with PepsiCo North America Beverages, a

for operators.

are incredibly proud to partner with PepsiCo North America Beverages to expedite the expansion of our beverage offering to such
a wide range of foodservice and restaurant operators. We expect this agreement will lead to significant revenue growth for our
company in calendar 2016 and beyond,” said Riccardo Delle Coste, CEO of Barfresh Food Group. “Through our agreement
with PepsiCo North America Beverages, we can now be included as part of its offerings to a significant base of customers. Additionally,
we will be able to fast track our growth and expedite the test to market process with large national accounts. There is significant
opportunity for Barfresh in the $25BN frozen blended beverage category and this exclusive agreement with PepsiCo North America
Beverages will help to accelerate our continued growth in North America and beyond.”
“PepsiCo
offers consumers and customers a wide array of food and beverage choices from our comprehensive product portfolio,” said
Kirk Tanner, President of PepsiCo Global Foodservice. “We’re pleased to now include Barfresh’s high-quality,
great-tasting smoothies and frozen beverages as another platform we can present to our foodservice customers. This is a fast-growing
category that will add value for our partners.”
