Subject: New HER report recommends healthier stocking polices for small retail food stores

In February, Healthy Eating Research released a new report titled Minimum Stocking Levels and Marketing Strategies of Healthful Foods for Small Retail Food Stores. The report identifies the minimum amounts of healthful foods and beverages that stores, particularly smaller food stores, should stock on their shelves (minimum stocking levels), and suggests marketing strategies that stores should adopt to enhance sales of healthful foods.

 

The report suggests that stores stock only healthier foods and beverages and/or non-food items in some or all checkout areas. Checkout is a powerful form of food marketing that contributes to unhealthy eating. Alternatively, stores can increase the proportion of healthier foods and beverages and/or non-food items found in all checkout areas.

 

Please share this report with your network via email and social media. Sample social media posts are included below.
