The Heart-Check Mark Certification Program certifies products under 10 different health claims in 13 categories. Each category encompasses its own set of nutritional criteria where products are screened for fat, saturated fat, trans fat, cholesterol, sodium, beneficial nutrients (vitamin A, vitamin C, iron, calcium, fiber and protein), and in some cases added sugar.
If your favorite food or beverage isn’t listed, contact the manufacturer and encourage them to become Heart-Check certified! For food companies, Heart-Check certification is a great way to let shoppers know that your foods can be part of a heart-healthy dietary pattern.
All certified products meet Heart-Check Food Certification Program Nutrition Requirements.
