心脏检查食品认证计划营养要求

非裔美国人在杂货店购物并阅读标签

The Heart-Check Food Certification Program’s nutrition requirements for certification are based on the sound science of the 美国心脏协会 regarding healthy dietary recommendations including food categories, 具体产品成分和营养价值.

要获得认证，产品必须满足特定的营养要求. Heart-Check项目有七个不同的认证类别, 每种食物都有不同的营养要求. All products must also meet government regulatory requirements for making a coronary heart disease health claim. 当一种产品接近超过脂肪含量限制时, 饱和脂肪, 胆固醇, 反式脂肪或钠, independent third-party lab testing is conducted to verify that it meets our nutrition requirements.

Most nutrient requirements are per FDA/USDA RACC amounts (RACC = Reference Amount Customarily Consumed or “standardized serving size”). Some are per additional or other measurement amounts as noted with an asterisk below. 主菜和餐品没有RACC含量.
