Grocery items; prohibit cost-plus pricing without public notice.
SB 2323 requires Mississippi grocery stores to publicly display any cost-plus pricing surcharge (where a fixed amount is added to the item's cost) both outside (within 15 feet of each entrance) and inside the store. It directly affects retail food establishments that use this pricing method, mandating clear signage showing the exact surcharge amount. Violations are classified as misdemeanors punishable by fines up to $1,000 or up to one year in jail, and also count as unlawful trade practices under existing law. The law takes effect on July 1, 2026.
