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.

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.

There are more than 75 companies that have reached our strict standards and around 1100 foods available with the Heart Foundation Tick, so there is likely to be a healthier alternative to the foods you buy most often.
