each year.

associated with cardiovascular conditions.

Tick
To improve the nutritional profile of the food supply
in a direction that is consistent with nutrition policies
and recommendations for the general population from
the Heart Foundation and the Government.
~ Basically making the foods Australians eat most often healthier
This will be achieved by:
– Influencing food companies and outlets to manufacture and
market foods that meet high nutrition standards;
– Encouraging consumers to purchase these healthier foods;
and
– Influencing food policy and legislation.

What does the Tick mean?
• It’s a healthier choice compared
to similar foods.
Eg: Bread with the Tick is a
healthier choice of bread
• It has been independently tested
to ensure it meets the Program’s
strict nutrition and labelling
standards. (And for Tick eating
out, there are process standards
too)
