Heart-Check Mark
  • Updated:Thu, 22 Sep 2011 5:03:00 PM

Facilitator Training Session

The American Heart Association proudly introduces a fresh, new look to our nationally recognized nutrition icon--the Heart-Check mark.

The enhanced new look is just one of the improvements to the Heart-Check Food Certification Program. Now we're certifying even more heart-healthy foods--including fish and nuts--to help meet our goal of dramatically improving the nation's cardiovascular health. And it's easier than ever to spot this trusted American Heart Association symbol in the grocery store.

When you see the Heart-Check mark on food packaging, you'll instantly know the food has been certified to meet the American Heart Association's guidelines for a heart-healthy food. It's a good first step in creating an overall sensible eating plan.
