Health Check^TM

Heart&Stroke Health Check^TM is a food information program based on the Canada Food Guide’s nutrition standards. Many Bassili’s Best products meet the standards for the Health Check^TM Label. Bassili’s Best works hard to provide customers with convenient, flavorful and health conscious products.

Heart&Stroke Health Check^TM nutrient standards for fats

It's best to choose products that are either low in total fat or are a source of healthy fats and are lower in unhealthy fats such as saturated and trans fats.

Heart&Stroke Health Check^TM nutrient standards for sodium

Whenever health experts refer to salt they are referring to sodium; sodium is a major component of salt. The Heart&Stroke Foundation recommends we set a target of 2,300 mg of salt per day, which is the equivalent of 1 teaspoon of salt. For about one-third of Canadians excess sodium in the diet causes high blood pressure, leading to the risk of heart disease and stroke.
