Today’s Supermarket Stocks
Nearly 8,500 Items
When you consider the variety
of items it stocks, today’s grocery
store is truly a “super” market,
reminds Harold E. Neigh, Ex
tension consumer economist at
The Pennsylvania State
University.
A typical supermarket stocks
8,500 items, all different, and of
which more than 3,200, or nearly
38 per cent, are nonfood items.
Mr. Neigh says that a recent
survey by the United States
Department of Agriculture shows
that almost 1,000 supermarket
items were health and beauty
aids, such as hair spray and
shampoo. More than 800 were
household supplies including
detergents, cleansers and
disinfectants, first-aid supplies
and toothpaste.
Housewares accounted for
about 400 items. And pet products
numbered more than 200, as did
paper products, film and foil
wrappings.
Considering food items, the
inventory showed nearly 1,000
different kinds and sizes of
canned fruit products, canned
vegetables, juices, meats,
specialty foods, and fish; 250
baby food items, and 500 frozen
foods.
In the dairy department alone
there were nearly 400 items,
including 150 kinds of cheese, 60
ice cream items, and 25 fluid milk
products.
