The ECON Study
Healthy Communities through Convenience.
Through the Evaluating the impact of placement regulations on the CONvenience store sector and co-creating solutions for a healthier system (ECON) study, we will be working with convenience businesses and their customers to find workable solutions to boost the sales of healthy products in stores across England.
The study will assess the impact the new high in fat, salt and sugar (HFSS) product placement law (October 2022) has on the food bought and eaten by people who use convenience stores and on store profits. It will also find out how much work it generates for local governments. A key aim is to help all convenience store owners find ways to offer healthier options to their customers without affecting their profits.
