Eating healthier just got easier at SUBWAY restaurants. Today, the world's largest restaurant chain, announces that it is the first and only quick-service restaurant to apply and meet the American Heart Association’s Heart-Check Meal Certification Program nutritional criteria. This prestigious meal certification from the American Heart Association, the nation’s most recognized and trusted authority on heart health, which comes after a nearly 12-year relationship, is a reflection of SUBWAY restaurants’ relentless drive to enhance its products and be the health trailblazer in the quick serve restaurant category by offering fans nutritious options that do not sacrifice taste or variety.
UBWAY restaurants’ fans will have a variety of meal offerings that meet the American Heart Association’s Heart-Check Meal Certification Program requirements on nutritional criteria for heart-health, while also promoting taste and flavor. The iconic Heart-Check logo will be present on SUBWAY restaurant menus nationwide. Fans will find the Heart-Check on all SUBWAY FRESH FIT meals featuring a variety of 6” inch subs served with apple slices and water and SUBWAY FRESH FIT FOR KIDS meals served with apple slices and 12 ounce low-fat milk, along with a selection of salads served with apple slices, water and sweet onion dressing. These meals meet the Heart-Check’s nutritional criteria for levels of sodium, calories, cholesterol, saturated fat and trans-fats. All of the Heart-Check items must be prepared using the recipes approved and certified to meet American Heart Association nutritional standards. “Being the first restaurant to meet the stringent nutritional standards required for the American Heart Association’s Heart-Check Certification program is another health milestone for SUBWAY Restaurants,” says Tony Pace, senior vice president, global chief marketing officer of the SUBWAY Brand. “The Heart-Check reinforces our leadership as a healthy food option for the many Americans who want a simple way to enjoy eating better.”
