The Global Organization for EPA and DHA Omega-3s (GOED), Salt Lake City, UT, and contract research organization and consulting firm Nutrasource Diagnostics, Guelph, Ontario, Canada, have jointly published a white paper titled “Measurement of Environmental Contaminants in a Globally-Representative Sample of Fish Oil Supplements.” The report details the analysis of more than 1,800 fish oil samples with a comparison against the contaminant limits of the GOED Voluntary Monograph, which adopts the strictest regulatory limits globally and has served as a symbol of quality in the industry since 2002. Levels of all contaminants analyzed and reported in the monograph were below the specified limits, providing confidence that fish oil supplements are safe around the world.

Adam Ismail, executive director of GOED stated, “This study is unique because of the size of the data set. To my knowledge this is the first time such a large number of samples have been analyzed and this shows the omega 3 industry can meet consumer expectations for safe, high quality products.”
