Harris Teeter says it is company policy to stock Plan B.

Jennifer Panetta, a spokeswoman for the Matthews-based grocery chain, said that all of its stores are supposed to carry emergency contraception, though they may only have one pill in stock.

If a store runs out, pharmacists are supposed to recommend a nearby Harris Teeter and order another pill on the next truck, which could come in one or two days, depending on the location.

When taken within 72 hours of intercourse, the pill can prevent a pregnancy. A survey by NARAL Pro-Choice North Carolina found that three Harris Teeter stores did not have the pill in stock despite corporate policy on multiple occasions.

Panetta said the stores have been contacted and they now have the pill in stock.

More after the jump.
