A Health Happy Taste Test conducted in Kuujjuaq, QC has proven once again that customers welcome – and even prefer – healthier food options. 

The Kuujjuaq Northern store compared one of its many Health Happy food products, Reduced Sugar Apple Sauce, with its regular brand.  Many customers sampled the two options, raising overall awareness of healthier lifestyle options. It was a great opportunity for the community to explore healthier alternatives in a fun way.

Results of the test revealed that customers highly favoured Health Happy to regular products, with 70 percent of participants preferring the former.

“The Health Happy Taste Test was fun,” says Kate Carter, Northern Store Manager, Kuujjuaq.“It allowed good interactions with customers to tell them about a healthier option.” 

The purpose of the Health Happy program is to promote a healthier lifestyle by offering products with reduced salt, sugar, caffeine, or fat content.
