CANSA aims to promote a smart, balanced lifestyle using the CANSA Smart Choice Seal as a tool to assist the public in making healthier, informed choices.

Revitalising the CANSA Seal of Recognition Programme

Consumers have become more health-conscious, therefore on shelf identification, as a healthier product option, has become crucial to brand development and essential to brands competing for limited shelf space.

Consumers associate the CANSA Smart Choice Seal with healthy eating and cancer risk reduction, therefore the use of the seal on product packaging and promotional activity will promote and benefit your business by:

  • Demonstrating independent verification of quality
  • Increasing credibility and acceptance with consumers and retailers
  • Demonstrating compliance with the latest local and international standards and national label legislation
  • Distinguishing your product as the healthier alternative to the competing products
  • Establishing your brand as responsible, health-conscious, consumer-centered
  • Utilising the opportunity to host joint promotions with CANSA to educate or uplift the community
  • Receiving promotional exposure at www.cansa.org.za and via CANSA eNewsletters
