French retailer Leclerc has announced plans to replace the usual sugary confectionary found at the supermarket checkout with healthier snacks such as dried fruits and fruit compotes.
Last June, Leclerc stated its commitment to fighting against childhood obesity, and now, buoyed by the public’s support, it has elected to forego the €4.3m annual turnover generated by checkout sweets.
In a January survey conducted for Leclerc by Opinion Way, 67 per cent of shoppers supported a total overhaul of the checkout area.
