Summary

The industry group GOED issued technical advisories addressing two quality concerns for omega-3 supplements: contamination with micro- and nanoplastic particles, and proper reporting of EPA and DHA concentrations — highlighting that microplastic contamination has reached even the dietary supplement supply chain.

The Global Organization for EPA and DHA Omega-3 (GOED; Salt Lake City, UT) has issued two industry advisories addressing technical concerns related to omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA: one regarding micro- and nanoplastic particle contamination, and a second addressing the correct expression of EPA, DHA, and total omega-3 fatty acid content in oils.
