The American Heart Association is a national voluntary health agency whose mission is:

"Building healthier lives, free of cardiovascular diseases and stroke."

The American Heart Association provides a wide spectrum of educational and communications support to consumers, medical professionals, healthcare organizations and government agencies. The association's impact goal is to reduce coronary heart disease, stroke and risk by 25 percent by 2010. Progress toward the goal will be measured according to these indicators:

• Reduce the death rate from coronary heart disease and stroke by 25 percent.
• Reduce the prevalence of smoking, high blood cholesterol and physical inactivity by 25 percent.
• Reduce the rate of uncontrolled high blood pressure by 25 percent.
• Eliminate the growth of obesity and diabetes.

The AHA Food Certification Program assists consumers in identifying heart-healthy products in supermarkets and other food retail stores. The red and white heart-check mark is widely recognized by consumers throughout the United States. Products displaying the heart-check mark must be low in fat, low in saturated fat, low in cholesterol and provide at least 10% of the recommended Daily Value of a key nutrient (such as protein, vitamin A, iron, etc.)

Trans-Ocean is proud to display the heart-check mark on packages of Crab Classic. We support the mission of the American Heart Association and believe that consumers will be positively influenced to purchase our products because of our certification by the AHA.
