Doc’s Amazing is happy to announce that three of their most popular chicken sausages have earned the Heart Check Mark of the American Heart Association (AHA). Doc's Amazing Low Fat Chicken Italian, Low Fat Chicken Apple, and Low Fat El Chipotle Chicken Sausage are all officially certified heart healthy foods. You can now find them at Whole Foods Markets in Northern California.
To earn the AHA Heart Check Mark—which makes it easy to identify heart-healthy foods in the grocery store—a portion of food weighing 100 grams must contain less than 5 grams of fat, 2 grams of saturated fat, and 0.5 grams of trans fat. That amounts to less than 95 milligrams of cholesterol per 100 grams and less than 480 milligrams of sodium per serving. Additionally, the product must provide at least 10% of the recommended daily value of a nutrient such as protein. You will find this information in detail at www.heart.org.
