Ocean Nutrition Canada (ONC), Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada, has completed the expansion of its omega 3 fish oil concentrate production facility in Mulgrave, Nova Scotia. The new $10 million, 35,000 square-foot expansion will increase ONC’s production capacity by over 400%, making it one of the world’s largest manufacturers of omega 3 fish oil concentrates.

In other developments, the company recently received FDA generally recognized as safe (GRAS) affirmation for its omega 3 powder fish oil ingredient to be used in a wide range of foods. ONC’s submission to FDA summarized conclusions of an expert scientific panel, which evaluated dietary exposure, source of the substance, method of manufacture, specifications, contaminant levels and information from recent published toxicological and human studies.
