SA’s largest retailers respond:
Shoprite Group spokeswoman Sarita van Wyk said its shops stock a number of items at its till points including healthy snack options, and stock and merchandise products according to consumer demand. Finally, Shoprite respects the consumer’s right to choose as determined by the Consumer Protection Act.

Pick n Pay’s spokeswomen, Tamra Veley, said it too offered a wide variety of goods based on consumer demand and that goods sold at checkout counters are often seen as impulse purchases. She concluded that it is accepted practice worldwide to offer an assortment of items at checkout counters and Pick n Pay’s goods are not limited to confectionery items. Furthermore, Pick n Pay did trial the removal of confectionary from checkout counters but received very vocal and sustained feedback from customers that they reintroduced these products. Pick n Pay endeavours to make healthy options more available to the public.
