The Heart Foundation
The Heart Foundation is a self-funded, public health program. Since 1989 the Heart Foundation Tick Program has been challenging
food companies to reformulate and produce healthier products for the supermarket shelves. The Tick highlights these healthier
choices so that they are quick and easy for shoppers to spot without being a nutrition expert. In general, Tick approved foods
and meals must meet strict standards for saturated fat, trans fat, salt and where appropriate, kilojoules and fibre. There may
be other healthier foods, but only those carrying the Heart Foundation Tick can be guaranteed to have been independently tested
and to have met strict nutrient standards.
