An indicator of a ‘healthy’ supermarket is the percentage of junk-food-free checkouts. In a NZ study of 204 supermarkets (Pak n Save, Countdown and New World), only 1 supermarket had all check-outs junk-free. On average, NZ supermarkets only have 15% junk-food-free checkouts. Where is this ‘healthy’ supermarket? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Vandevijvere, S., Waterlander, W., Molloy, J., Nattrass, H., & Swinburn, B. (2018). Towards healthier supermarkets: a national study of in-store food availability, prominence and promotions in New Zealand.
