Did you know GOED’s Monograph has served as the omega-3 industry’s quality standard since 2002? It sets the bar high for omega-3 quality and purity, offering guidelines that safeguard consumers and ensure product integrity. It ensures that any oil manufactured to the Monograph standards can be sold worldwide.

As proud members of GOED, Lipid Labs provides specialized testing services that align with many of the standards laid out in the Monograph.
GOED Omega-3 also recognized Lipid Labs in its first Special Achievement Program for our proficiency in quantifying EPA and DHA in omega-3 oils using the AOCS Ce 1i-07 method. This recognition reflects our ongoing commitment to maintaining the highest standards in analytical services.
While our team focuses primarily on testing for fatty acids and oxidation, which are key aspects of ensuring product stability and efficacy, the comprehensive nature of GOED’s guidelines means there are various levels of testing required.
Our current capabilities include advanced testing for fatty acid profiles, oxidative stability, and total lipid content, among other critical parameters that help verify product purity and quality.
Why is this important?
The presence of unwanted oxidation in omega-3 products can reduce the efficacy and shelf life of the product, potentially compromising health benefits. By adhering to rigorous testing standards for oxidation and fatty acid composition, we ensure that consumers receive the highest quality products = freshness, purity, and safety.
We are working on expanding our capabilities to support the evolving needs of the industry and meet or exceed regulatory standards. View our current comprehensive list of tests here.
