As you stock up on produce this summer, we're here to remind you *how* to take care of and store your fruits and veggies to maximize their life (and save money!)

Here are some things to consider:
🍉the condition when purchased
🍉the temp at which it needs to be stored
🍉 the humidity & airflow levels of storage space
🍉 whether the food produces ethylene gas or is ethylene-sensitive

But these aren't super hard and fast rules. For example, citrus (think lemons, limes, oranges) could be at home sitting on the counter. If you want to extend their life, throw them in the fridge.

🎉Last week, the International Food Information Council hosted the third annual IFIC Food & Health Communications Summit in Washington, DC.

We brought together stakeholders from across the food sector—including government, industry, academia—to discuss some of today’s most pressing food safety and nutrition topics, from food safety and processed foods to obesity management medications. Throughout the Summit, one perspective remained central: the consumer.

Attendees got a first look at insights from the forthcoming 2026 IFIC Food & Health Survey, offering an early preview of the trends and perceptions shaping food and nutrition conversations today.
