I’m Charlotte, Tick Programme Administrator for the Heart Foundation. I manage all Tick product approvals and renewals, and help to ensure Tick approved products remain compliant with our strict nutrition criteria and marketing guidelines. About 150 Tick products are randomly selected and tested each year, and I advise all licensees of the outcome of their products, and help them to overcome any non-compliances. I hold a BSc in Nutrition and enjoy knowing that I am helping consumers make easier and healthier choices on a day to day basis. I am also responsible for updating the Tick Shopping Guide twice a year so consumers are kept well informed of all current Tick products sold within New Zealand.

Hi, I’m Deb Sue, Tick Manager for the Heart Foundation Tick Programme. I’m also a registered Dietitian and have previously worked in food industry and hospitals in New Zealand and London. Research shows that many consumers are aware of the Tick, so my role as the Tick Manager is to continue to educate consumers on the benefits of the Tick, as well as working alongside food industry to reformulate their products to reduce the negative and increase the positive nutrients (while still keeping the same great flavour). It’s great to be part of such a well-known and credible programme that helps improve the nutritional status of New Zealanders.
