The vast majority of shoppers, 73 percent, say they remember nutrition symbols they see on product packaging over in-store merchandising, advertising and more.   
With the American Heart Association’s Heart-Check mark on the product package, shoppers know that the product addresses their concern for heart health.  And because the Heart-Check mark has the longevity of being on packaging since 1995 and represents the clout of the leader in heart health, shoppers trust and recognize it.  Find out how to certify your heart-healthy food
