Today the Heart Foundation announced on their facebook page- "In 2014 we announced that we were reviewing the Tick Program. After 26 years of developing healthier choices for packaged foods and increasing transparency for shoppers, we have decided to retire the Tick program. We are proud of the achievements Tick has made, including introducing the nutrition information panel on the back of all packaged goods, 13 years before it was mandatory. The reasons behind our decision can be read in full detail here." http://heartfoundation.org.au/news/thank-you-tick-for-the-past-26-years This is GREAT news but our work isn't done yet.
