The city of Perris will no longer allow supermarkets to sell foods high in sugar and fat in the checkout aisle.
Perris residents will notice their usual snacks, treats and sugary drinks at the checkout aisle will be replaced with healthier options starting Jan. 1, 2024.
"When you check out of a much larger-scale market you are going to have better choices when you leave the store," said Perris Mayor Michael Vargas. "What makes matters worse is that while the neighborhood grocery store is the primary resource in communities for healthy and nourishing food, grocery stores have been singled out by Perris politicians. There's no reason why one set of rules should apply in the grocery checkout aisle, but not a gasoline, convenience, or pharmacy store checkout stand.
