All the foods in our Good Foods for Good Health program are selected for the nutrients they contain - science shows these nutrients are particularly important for each health interest we highlight.  However, our selection process doesn’t stop there.

The foods tagged for good health are chosen for their taste and wholesomeness too. Both of these qualities are essential criteria for being a Good Foods for Good Health pick.  The foods we’ve tagged are:

• delicious
• nutritious
• nourishing

What about fat, cholesterol and salt?

Besides being tasty and nutritious, our "Good Foods," meet the guidelines for fat, cholesterol and sodium content established by the Food and Drug Administration for nutrient-rich foods. We also have an eye on added sugars.

What about artificial ingredients?

If a food contains artificial sweeteners* or colors, it is not included in our program. Foods that are overly fortified or overly processed are not included either - our focus is on highlighting wholesome foods for a healthy you.
