Consider requiring large stores to offer healthy snacks at checkout
In Plain English
Youth advocates want Richmond to pass a law requiring stores over 2,500 square feet to stock healthy food options at checkout instead of just candy and chips. Berkeley and Contra Costa County have similar rules that limit sugary snacks near cash registers. The city council asked staff to research costs and enforcement concerns before deciding whether to move forward.
