The Health Check symbol can be found on more than 1,700 foods, including vegetables and fruit, grain products, milk products and alternatives, as well as meat and alternatives.

BASED ON CANADA'S FOOD GUIDE

Every food product and menu item in the Health Check program must earn the right to display the Health Check symbol by meeting specific nutrient standards based on Canada's Food Guide.

The Heart & Stroke Foundation's team of registered dietitians evaluate each participating company's product or restaurant food item on the basis of total fat, saturated fat, trans fats, fibre, sodium, calcium, sugar, vitamins and minerals, depending on its category. When food products meet these standards, they are allowed to join the program. To make sure products continue to comply with the nutrient standards, our dietitians randomly inspect products and menu items on a regular basis.
