Additional Information:
- Harvey’s launched four items that meet the Health Check criteria on November 19, 2012.
- Health Check nutrient criteria were developed by the Heart and Stroke Foundation’s registered dietitians based on recommendations in Canada’s Food Guide.
- The nutrient criteria are constantly evolving based on the best available evidence.
- Health Check is the only health promotion program in the country that works with food companies and restaurants by challenging them to meet stronger nutrient criteria and offer healthier choices.
- Healthy eating is a priority of the Heart and Stroke Foundation and Health Check is one part of the Foundation’s healthy eating strategy.
- One out of every 10 meals Canadians eat comes from a restaurant. Having Health Check in restaurants ensures Canadians have healthy choices when dining out.
- Health Check is a voluntary, non-profit program and restaurants pay a modest annual licence fee to cover the costs of running the program and to develop tools to educate Canadians on healthy eating.
