IFPA and The Foundation for Fresh Produce Launch "Fruits & Vegetables: All Day, Every Day" with Washington Conference Activation

WASHINGTON -The International Fresh Produce Association (IFPA) and The Foundation for Fresh Produce have launched "Fruits & Vegetables: All Day, Every Day," a campaign built to close the persistent gap between knowing produce matters and actually eating more of it. The effort debuted with an activation at IFPA's Washington Conference,bringing the industry together with one voice to align consumer inspiration with the policy work that protects access and strengthens demand.
The DC activation responds directly to the 2025-2030 Dietary Guidelines for Americans, which reaffirm fruits and vegetables as foundational to healthy eating and call on Americans to consume produce throughout the day. All Day, Every Day translates that guidance into doable moments people can act on at breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snack time, while reinforcing the policy priorities that keep produce visible, accessible, and affordable.
"Bringing All Day, Every Day to the Washington Conference is a perfect way to kick off this campaign about increasing consumption of fruits and vegetables," said Mollie Van Lieu, vice president of nutrition policy at IFPA. "The Dietary Guidelines give us a clear opening to close the gap, but guidance has to meet policy. This campaign, with activations in consumer spaces and in our meetings on the Hill are a great way to see how our industry is showing up to make the case directly to policy makers that you can't make America healthy without fruits and vegetables."
The campaign was featured in key spaces where policy makers who influence health and nutrition decisions may best see them. This included in-person across the city on a billboard truck, digital boards in high traffic areas like the Wharf, and in each of the 180 meetings members had on Capitol Hill where they delivered produce boxes designed with the campaign and the industry's policy priorities.
This activation was a partnership between IFPA and The Foundation for Fresh Produce where IFPA leads on policy, advocacy, and industry alignment, while The Foundation helps translate that guidance into daily habits with consumers. Together, the two organizations connect consumers to trusted, practical tools at fruitsandveggies.org, including recipes, cooking tips, and simple ideas that make produce feel realistic across every meal occasion and lifestyle.
"The Foundation's role is to meet people where they are and make fruits and vegetables doable in real life," said Lauren M. Scott, President of The Foundation for Fresh Produce. "Inspiration is what turns a recommendation into a routine. Through fruitsandveggies.org, we give people the ideas and confidence to put 'all day, every day' into practice-and we're proud to bring that to life alongside IFPA's advocacy."
The Washington Conference activation is the first of many ways IFPA and The Foundation for Fresh Produce will partner to carry the All Day, Every Day message forward. The two organizations plan to continue collaborating to spread this message across meal occasions, audiences, and markets around the globe.

Hyatt and Parks Hospitality Holdings Share New Details on Upcoming Park Hyatt and Grand Hyatt Hotels in Mexico
Park Hyatt Riviera Maya and Grand Hyatt Los Cabos are slated to open in the second half of 2026, bringing two distinct expressions of the Park Hyatt and Grand Hyatt brands to sought-after leisure destinations, with an all-inclusive experience thoughtfully integrated into each stay.
-
Hyatt Hotels Corporation (NYSE: H) and Parks Hospitality Holdings("PHH") today announced that Park Hyatt Riviera Maya and Grand Hyatt Los Cabos, both owned by PHH and expected to open in the second half of 2026, will bring new expressions of the Park Hyatt and Grand Hyatt brands in Mexico's leading leisure destinations, with an all-inclusive offering designed to complement each brand's distinctive identity and guest experience.
Park Hyatt Riviera Maya and Grand Hyatt Los Cabos will reflect this approach, combining globally recognized brands with strong loyalty among luxury, business and group travelers and Hyatt's market-leading all-inclusive expertise, further strengthening Hyatt's position in the leisure segment.
"At Hyatt, we're continuing to evolve how our brands connect with travelers, ensuring they remain distinct and compelling," said Javier Aguila, President, Inclusive Collection, Hyatt. "Drawing on our deep expertise and leadership in elevated all-inclusive, we're selectively bringing this model to these two new hotels, combining the ease of all-inclusive with the exceptional design, service and sense of place that define the Park Hyatt and Grand Hyatt brands."
This move reflects Hyatt and PHH's shared focus on thoughtful growth in high-demand leisure destinations and on creating resorts that express each brand authentically while responding to how guests are traveling today.
"These two openings represent a defining moment-not only for PHH, but for Mexican tourism as a whole. With more than 11,000 hotel rooms across our portfolio, we have built this company on a deep, unwavering conviction in Mexico's potential as one of the world's premier destinations," said Charles El Mann Fasja, CEO, Parks Hospitality Holdings. "Our collaboration with Hyatt is a natural expression of that conviction-and one we are truly excited about. Across our growing portfolio of more than 1,200 rooms with Hyatt, including Park Hyatt Riviera Maya and Grand Hyatt Los Cabos, we are bringing a new standard for luxury all-inclusive travel to two of Mexico's most celebrated destinations, as part of a long-term relationship built on a shared commitment to excellence and authenticity. Park Hyatt Riviera Maya and Grand Hyatt Los Cabos are not just resorts; they are a statement of confidence in this country, in this industry, and in the guests who choose Mexico time and time again."
Park Hyatt Riviera Maya: The refinement of Park Hyatt, the freedom of all-inclusive.
Slated to open by the end of 2026 on a secluded stretch of Mexico's Caribbean coastline between Cancun and Puerto Morelos, Park Hyatt Riviera Maya is poised to redefine the luxury all-inclusive experience for the region. One shaped by the Park Hyatt hallmarks: residential luxury, highly personalized service, exceptional culinary experiences, and a strong connection to the destination that will run through every part of the stay.
The resort will sit within AMAI, a private coastal enclave reached through a winding mangrove landscape that gradually opens to the sea. From the moment guests arrive, there will be a feeling of stepping away from the outside world. Even at full occupancy, the resort is designed to feel spacious and unhurried, with a layout that moves naturally between privacy and connection.
Across the property, Mexico will come through in craft rather than theme. Architectural details will draw on local materials and techniques, with millwork, furnishings and artwork created alongside regional artisans. The result will feel grounded, contemporary, and unmistakably of its place.
The 148 guestrooms and suites will look out across the Caribbean blue, designed with Park Hyatt's residential sensibility. Select accommodations will include private pools and plunge pools, alongside a 2,300 square foot penthouse for guests seeking a more expansive retreat.
Service will be intuitive and highly considered. Each guest will be supported by a dedicated Resort Ambassador from pre-arrival onward, creating a stay that feels personal from the outset. There will be no signatures to chase or interruptions to navigate, just the ease of knowing everything has already been taken care of.
Food and drink will sit at the heart of the experience. A chef-led culinary program will span seven distinct venues, each with its own point of view. Dining will be entirely a la carte, with refined Mexican cuisine and seafood at the center, balanced by global influences handled with restraint. Mornings will begin at the coffee bar with a curated selection of Mexican beans, while evenings will move between intimate restaurants and The Botanist cocktail bar. Sommelier-led wine and premium spirits programs will run throughout.
Wellness and leisure will follow the same rhythm. There will be a beachfront pool lined with private cabanas, an open-air spa garden with secluded treatment spaces, daily wellness rituals, and preferred access to El Tinto Golf Course. Indoor and outdoor event spaces will be woven naturally into the resort, designed to feel considered rather than conventional.
Park Hyatt Riviera Maya will signal a new chapter for luxury all-inclusive, where the experience is defined by the details: the pace of service, the quality of what is on the table, the feeling of space and the elegant confidence that defines a Park Hyatt stay.
Grand Hyatt Los Cabos: A Dynamic Destination for Leisure and Celebrations
Expected to open later this year within the Oleada Pacific Living & Golf oceanfront community in Cabo San Lucas, Grand Hyatt Los Cabos Resort, Golf & Spa will be an all-inclusive resort that brings together bold, Baja-inspired architecture, expansive resort experiences for leisure travelers and group gatherings associated with the Grand Hyatt brand.
The resort will feature 301-rooms comprised of 244 standard rooms and 57 suites, with 42 swim-out rooms included within those totals. Offerings include one-bedroom suites and a 4,602-square-foot Presidential Suite, many featuring bathtubs, plunge pools or private pools. The rooms and suites are designed as refined coastal retreats with breezy balconies, natural light, elegant marble bathrooms and thoughtful spaces for gathering.
The resort will offer more than 20,000 square feet of sophisticated indoor meeting and event space, complemented by outdoor garden venues that reflect the signature Grand Hyatt blend of grandeur, seamless functionality, and inspiring design for exceptional gatherings.
Complementing the resort's gathering spaces, Grand Hyatt Los Cabos will offer dynamic culinary programming with five a la carte restaurants and five vibrant bar concepts. Guests will enjoy experiences ranging from elevated beachfront dining and rooftop cocktails to lively poolside bars, a market cafe, a refined steakhouse, pan-Asian and Italian cuisine and an intimate speakeasy, each creating an atmosphere that transitions seamlessly from relaxed daytime experiences to spirited evenings.
Set only minutes from Cabo San Lucas, the oceanfront resort will offer guests a pristine beachfront escape with amenities designed for both relaxation and activity, such as an 18-hole, world-class Ernie Els Design golf course, a fitness center, kids' and teen clubs and pickleball courts. Guests can enjoy multiple ocean-view pools, including an adults-only pool, family-friendly infinity-edge pools, a beachfront family pool, and a dedicated splash park.
The resort's expansive spa will feature 12 private treatment cabins and immersive wellness experiences inspired by the traditions and natural elements of Baja. Guests will enjoy hydrotherapy, steam and sauna rituals, as well as a traditional temazcal experience designed to promote restoration and wellbeing.
These openings reflect Hyatt's continued momentum in Mexico and its commitment to offering differentiated luxury and lifestyle experiences across the country. Following the recent openings of Park Hyatt Cabo del Sol and Alila Mayakoba, and ahead of the anticipated debut of Park Hyatt Mexico City later this year, Hyatt continues to expand its luxury portfolio in key destinations. At the same time, the recent re-opening of Secrets Mirabel Cancun Resort & Spa, following a complete renovation, underscores the strength and continued evolution of Hyatt's all-inclusive offering in the region.
The term "Hyatt" is used in this release for convenience to refer to Hyatt Hotels Corporation and/or one or more of its affiliates.

Washington - The Computer & Communications Industry Association filed comments to the International Trade Commission supporting its transparency proposal that would require third-party litigation funding disclosure for those asking the ITC to block imports for alleged patent violations.
In responding to the ITC's request for stakeholder input, CCIA said, "[g]reater transparency isurgently needed to detect conflicts of interest, clarify the entities whose rights are truly at issue, protect sensitive confidential information, and prevent speculative or foreign entities from weaponizing the threat of Commission exclusion orders from the shadows."
For more than 50 years, CCIA has advocated for balanced patent policies that encourage innovation and limit misuse of the patent system.
The following can be attributed to CCIA Head of IP Policy, John Lee:
"Transparency is essential to the integrity of any adjudicative process. Additional disclosure requirements are a welcome addition to ensure the Commission has a complete understanding of financial interests involved in a proceeding, including increasingly from opaque funding sources, to support informed decision-making and reinforce continued confidence in the ITC's work."

ASA Statement on Supreme Court Decision Regarding FIFRA and Pesticide Labeling
The American Soybean Association released a statement following today's decision from the U.S. Supreme Court in Durnell v. Monsanto, a case addressing whether state failure-to-warn claims can override federal pesticide labeling decisions under the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA). The Court ruled that FIFRA and federal labeling requirements preempt state failure-to-warnclaims.
"Farmers depend on clear, consistent labeling and a uniform regulatory framework to use pesticides safely and responsibly. The Supreme Court's decision provides much-needed clarity on the role of federal, science-based regulation and reaffirms the value of sound science in the regulatory process.
For decades, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, along with regulatory authorities around the world, has repeatedly concluded that glyphosate does not pose a cancer risk when used as directed. State-level requirements have led to a burdensome regulatory patchwork that conflicts with EPA-approved labels and creates confusion, undermining confidence in the regulatory process and limiting access to essential crop protection tools."
Earlier this year, ASA joined 11 other agricultural organizations in an amicus curiae brief to the Supreme Court, to defend farmer access to critical crop protection tools against continued threats of regulatory overreach and activist litigation.

New AARP Ohio Poll: 50+ Voters Key in Tight Senate, Governor Races
Affordability and Social Security are top issues for 50+ voters
-
Today, AARP launched its 2026 midterm election polling series, being conducted by the bipartisan team of Fabrizio-Ward and Impact Research, with a statewide poll of Ohio that reveals how important older voters are in this year's elections. Ohio voters 50 and older make up an outsized portion of the electorate: in the 2022 midterm elections, older voters made up 65% of the state'svoters. AARP's new poll finds that 81% of older voters are "extremely motivated" to vote, compared with only 62% of voters ages 18-49.
"Voters age 50 and older are extremely motivated to turn out in this year's midterm elections," said Nancy LeaMond, AARP Executive Vice President and Chief Advocacy and Engagement Officer. "This is the most influential voting bloc in American elections. They consistently vote at outsized rates, and the issues that matter most to them - Social Security, Medicare, inflation, and retirement security - decide the outcome in competitive races. We're seeing older swing voters are winnable for candidates across the country, and they need to be speaking to these concerns. For older swing voters, our poll finds that Social Security is one of the top issues deciding their vote."
In the race for the Senate, Sherrod Brown (D) leads incumbent Sen. Jon Husted (R) 48 percent to 45 percent. Among 50+ voters, Husted has an eight-point lead, driven by strong support from older men. And in this key demographic, older women voters are tied, and Brown leads Husted by seven points among 50+ swing voters.
The open gubernatorial seat has Amy Acton (D) leading Vivek Ramaswamy (R), 47% - 44%. Ramaswamy's support is based on his ten-point lead with older voters. But undecided swing voters loom large - 50% of older swing voters are still undecided.
"In Ohio, voters 50 and older are making clear that kitchen-table issues like the cost of living, Social Security, Medicare, and health care will determine their vote," said AARP Ohio State Director Jenny Carlson. "More than eight in ten say a candidate's position on Social Security and the cost of health care are key factors in earning their support, while over half say Social Security is or will be a major source of income. These voters are also balancing caregiving responsibilities, underscoring just how personal these economic and health care issues are for older Ohioans."
AARP's polling finds that affordability is the top issue for older voters, while both Social Security and Medicare are their second-most-important concern. 84% of older voters say that candidate positions on controlling health care costs will determine how they vote, and 83% of older voters say that candidate positions on Social Security will make a difference in how they vote.
Other key takeaways from this poll among voters 50 and older include:
* 55% of voters say that Social Security is or will be a major source of their income.
* 51% say that they are or have been a family caregiver.
* 56% of older voters are worried about their personal financial situation, and 67% of older swing voters are worried.
AARP commissioned the bipartisan polling team of Fabrizio Ward (R) & Impact Research (D) to conduct a survey of voters in Ohio. The firms interviewed 800 likely voters statewide. The survey was done between June 14-16, 2026. The interviews were conducted via live interviewer on cell phone (40%) and landline (15%), as well as SMS-to-web (45%). The sample was randomly drawn from the Ohio voter list. The margin of sampling error at the 95% confidence level for the 800 statewide sample is +-3.5.
