Food companies accepted the Heart Foundations Tick's challenge to make a real difference to the health of Australians.

Tick:

• Removed 235 tonnes of salt in just one year when just one manufacturer reformulated 12 breakfast cereals to Tick nutrition standards; Click here for more information on this study.
  
• Helped educate consumers on why we need healthier fats such as those found in avocados, nuts, eggs, salad dressings and margarine;
  
• Created the first puff pastry free of industrially produced trans fat when reformulating meat pies to meet Tick's new criteria and cutting a third of the kilojoules in the process;
  
• Required foods with the Tick to display Nutritional Information Panels 13 years before they were mandatory; and
  
• Lobbied for mandatory labelling of saturated fat to make it easier to spot unhealthy fats.
