Boar's Head Brand Promotes Heart-Healthy Deli Meats During American Heart Month
February is recognized as American Heart Month, and Boar's Head Brand®, a prominent name in the delicatessen food industry, is taking this opportunity to underscore its ongoing commitment to cardiovascular health. Despite common knowledge, heart disease continues to be a major health issue in the United States, responsible for approximately 680,000 fatalities each year. In response, Boar's Head is proud to showcase its diverse portfolio of deli meats, with 22 options certified by the American Heart Association®.
A Legacy of Heart Health
For nearly 30 years, Boar's Head has been devoted to providing quality products that encourage heart-healthy eating. It is well-recognized that dietary choices, complemented by regular exercise, play a significant role in heart disease prevention. Each of the company's 22 heart-healthy deli meats boldly displays the American Heart Association's Heart-Check mark, making it convenient for consumers to seek nutritious selections at grocery stores and delicatessens across the nation.
High-Quality and Nutritious Choices
According to Elizabeth Ward, Vice President of Marketing at Boar's Head Brand, families should not have to sacrifice taste in pursuit of a nutritious diet. This philosophy is what drives their participation in the American Heart Association's Food Certification Program. This program allows Boar's Head to offer premium deli meat options that meet strict requirements pertaining to sodium, saturated fat, and cholesterol without compromising on flavor.
Heart-Healthy Selections
The criteria for Heart-Check certification include maintaining less than 5g of total fat and 95mg of cholesterol per 100g of product, alongside specific sodium restrictions. Some standout selections include:
- - Turkey: No Salt Added Oven Roasted Turkey Breast, 46% Lower Sodium Oven Roasted Turkey Breast+, and Ovengold® Roasted Turkey Breast.
- - Chicken: EverRoast® Oven Roasted Chicken Breast, Sweet B's® Honey Barbecue Glazed Chicken Breast, and Blazing Buffalo® Style Chicken Breast.
- - Beef and Pork: Londonport® Top Round Roast Beef, Uncured Honey Ham, and Old Fashioned Canadian Style Uncured Bacon.
These options not only taste exceptional but also align with a heart-conscious lifestyle, providing consumers with the delicious flavors they expect from Boar's Head.
Commitment to Community Wellness
In addition to promoting heart health through their products, Boar's Head also takes pride in its community support initiatives. The brand has shown steadfast dedication to hunger relief, recently donating around 4.1 million servings of quality protein to families in need throughout the country in 2025.
