Heart Foundation Tick
The Heart Foundation has been challenging food companies since 1989 to improve the nutrition of the foods they sell in supermarkets. Foods that meet our standards (not just nutrition, but labelling standards too) are able to earn the Heart Foundation Tick for their packaging and promotions.
In August 2006, in response to changing the eating habits of Australians, we launched the Heart Foundation Tick for foods 'eaten out'.
So whether you are shopping in the supermarket, or buying a take-away meal, you are now able to choose the healthier option - just look for the Heart Foundation Tick.
This website is where you can find a list of foods approved to carry the Heart Foundation Tick, how the Heart Foundation Tick is earned and the sorts of things we test foods for. You can also discover how to make sure you only buy foods that are genuinely Heart Foundation Tick approved and avoid those copy cat ticks.
Today there are around 100 companies that have reached our strict standards and around 1,200 foods available with the Heart Foundation Tick, so there is likely to be a healthier alternative to the foods you buy most often.
