Ebrofrost fresh frozen pasta brand Beroni has secured its second major listing after online grocery retailer Ocado confirmed it will be stocking the product with immediate effect. Ocado will stock all three varieties of the pasta – penne, fusilli and macaroni – in recyclable 1kg bags with an estimated RRP of around GBP3 per pack.
