Heart-Healthy Grocery Shopping Made Simple

With so many food options and messages in the grocery store it can be hard to make heart-healthy choices with confidence. That's why the American Heart Association created the heart-check mark.

When you see this distinctive symbol on food packaging in the grocery store, you'll instantly know the food has been screened and verified to meet the American Heart Association's certification criteria for saturated fat and cholesterol for healthy people over age 2.

It's a great first step in creating a sensible eating plan.
