Health Check Can Help - Other Foods

How can Health Check help?

The “other foods’ category in the Health Check program is the smallest category. That’s because most snack foods and condiments do not meet the nutrient standards set by the Health Check program. To be part of the Health Check program foods like muffins or granola bars must be lower in fat, sodium and sugar, and be a source of fibre.

Read more about the Health Check nutrient standards for fat, sugar, salt or see additional information on the nutrient criteria for “other foods.”
