Why do some foods not display the Health Check symbol?
Health Check is a voluntary program open to all food companies and restaurants in Canada. Participants choose to have their products evaluated and be part of the program. There may be a number of reasons why foods may not bear the Health Check symbol: • The food may not meet the Health Check nutrient criteria. • A company may be in the process of applying to the program. • A company may choose not to participate, even if the product/menu item could meet the criteria.
