Junk Food Checkout Ban Ordinance
Perris is making supermarkets remove candy, soda, and other junk food from checkout aisles starting in 2024. The goal is to cut impulse buys and nudge people toward healthier choices. If you usually grab a snack while waiting in line, that routine is about to change.
Junk Food Checkout Ban
Perris has banned junk food from grocery checkout lines, so the candy and chips you usually grab while waiting to pay won’t be there anymore. It’s a public health push, but it’s also sparking debate over how much say a city should have in what stores stock.
Healthy Checkout Ordinance
Perris is requiring grocery stores to replace candy and soda at checkout with healthier options, a first-of-its-kind local rule. The idea is to make the easy grab on your way out a better one. It could reshape impulse purchases and public health at the register.
