In a release that announced several areas CVS was highlighting and increasing the availability of healthy products, CVS announced that this summer, roughly 25 percent of point-of-sale (POS) checkout space would be dedicated to better-for-you snacks. Usually reserved for candy, a quarter of the items will now be healthier and include products such as KIND bars, Larabars and Vega One bars.
Editor’s note: Vending machine operators have long been asked to add more healthy products to the mix. Now a national drug store chain is replacing 25 percent of the POS candy with healthy items. Change is here.
