Heart-Check Program
  • Updated:Mar 15,2013

Heart-Check Program
The Heart-Check mark makes it easy to spot heart-healthy foods in the grocery store or when dining out. Simply look for the name of the American Heart Association along with our familiar red heart with a white check mark on the package or menu. But not all red hearts you see are from the American Heart Association; look for the AHA name to be sure. 

When you spot the American Heart Association’s Heart-Check mark, 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.
