About Health Check
Healthy Heart Meals is a proud participant in the Heart & Stroke Foundation Health Check ™ program† and is happy to offer individual meals that meet the Health Check criteria.
We are involved in the ongoing process of having our meals independently tested and evaluated to ensure that they are within the necessary guidelines. Those meals which meet the Health Check™ criteria will have the Health Check™ symbol beside them. You can click on the symbol for a nutritional analysis and further information. It's like shopping with the Heart and Stroke Foundation's dietitians! 
The Health Check™ symbol on food packaging is your assurance that the product contributes to an overall healthy diet. Healthy eating contributes to overall health. Health Check™ makes healthy food choices easier by helping you to quickly identify products that can contribute to a healthy and balanced diet. This program is suitable for everyone in your family aged four years and over. At the heart of the program is the Health Check™ logo and the Heart and Stroke Foundation name. Every food product involved in the program has in addition to the Health Check logo, an explanatory message and a Nutrition Facts table. The Health Check™ symbol means that the product's nutrition information has been reviewed by the foundation and it meets specific nutrient criteria based on Canada's Food Guide to Healthy Eating.
