Pick the Tick What is it, and is it the only way to determine healthy products?? So its a rating given to foods that meet the fat and salt guidelines for a healthy heart as determined by national standards. So yes that sounds good. However for a company/product to have the tick on their products they must pay for/buy this right. It also doesnt stop there, lets say Watties buys the right to display this tick they need to pay to use it on e.g baked beans and then need to pay again for their spaghetti, and again for each product they wish to have it on. So the struggle here is for smaller brands/companies not being able to afford to have this certification even if their product does meet the guidelines. So just to clarify yes pick the tick is helpful yet it doesnt highlight all products that may be healthy. In order to find these others you need to spend time reading food labels.
