ORLANDO, FL - Fresh Express®, a brand leader in value-added salads, turned heads and delighted taste buds at this year's International Fresh Produce Association (IFPA) Global Produce & Floral Show, where the brand brought its signature creativity, innovation and culinary inspiration to life.

From October 16–18, attendees at Booth #2139 experienced the energy and flavor Fresh Express is known for, including product sampling, interactive appearances and engaging sessions that showcased the brand's latest innovations—most notably, the debut of the Mediterranean Herb Chopped Kit.

The excitement reached a fever pitch when actress, cookbook author and mom Tiffani Thiessen joined the Fresh Express booth to connect with fans and attendees. Thiessen, now part of the Fresh Expressionists program, shared her enthusiasm for the new salad kit and the brand's mission to make healthy eating both convenient and delicious. Her appearance drew a crowd eager for photo ops, recipe inspiration and a taste of what Fresh Express is serving up next.

Adding to the weekend's highlights, Registered Dietitian and New York Times best-selling author Kylie Sakaida, MS, RDN, led a Retail Dietitian Immersion session that captivated attendees.

Her engaging session emphasized the shared commitment between Fresh Express and health professionals to make nutritious eating more accessible for everyone.

Attendees walked away inspired and some lucky guests left with signed cookbooks and exclusive Fresh Express giveaways, including tote bags and recipe cards.

The show marked the official debut of the Mediterranean Herb Chopped Kit, which quickly became a fan favorite among visitors. Featuring a bright mix of crisp greens, Mediterranean-inspired herbs, and chef-crafted toppings like crispy chickpeas and creamy feta crumbles, the kit was sampled throughout the weekend, drawing praise for its fresh flavor and versatility. Fresh Express customers also received an exclusive preview of the next wave of globally inspired restaurant flavors set to launch in March, underscoring excitement for what's next from the brand.
