Health Check Criteria
Foods that qualify to carry the Health Check™ symbol have met criteria established by the Heart and Stroke Foundation and are consistent with Health Canada's nutrient content claims criteria.
There are different criteria for different food categories. For example, criteria for bread focus on fat and fibre, while the criteria for milk products focus on fat and calcium. Fresh meats have to meet the following criteria:
| Criteria | Examples |
| LEAN 10% fat or less | all trimmed fresh pork cuts (excluding ribs), including pork chops, roasts, schnitzels, kabobs, cutlets, cubes and strips |
| EXTRA-LEAN 7.5% fat or less | pork tenderloin and cuts from pork leg inside round |
| LEAN GROUND 17% fat or less | lean ground pork |
