You mean AHA sold its certification? For money?

Feds say American Heart Association “lets Campbell and other companies use the 'Heart-Check' label on products that run counter to its stated mission, in exchange for fees.”



“The lawsuit states that the AHA's seal of approval misleads people into thinking in that products made by Campbell ‘possess some cardiovascular benefit not enjoyed by products that have not been certified by the AHA.’ It states the only difference is that Campbell pays money for the certification.”

AHA says it doesn’t comment on pending litigation. Campbell’s says yada yada yada, and an extra yada for good measure. Actually, Campbell’s says it is confident yada, yada, yada.
