We are pleased to announce our collaboration with Pacific Rim Labs, an ISO 17025-accredited laboratory specializing in ultra-trace contaminant analysis. Together, we’ve expanded our services to better meet the needs of the omega-3 and food industries.
This partnership allows us to offer comprehensive testing aligned with the GOED Monograph, the widely recognized global benchmark for omega-3 product quality.
What is the GOED Monograph?
The GOED Monograph defines quality standards for omega-3 products, addressing critical parameters such as:
- Potency: Measurement of EPA, DHA, and total omega-3 fatty acids to ensure accurate potency claims.
- Purity: Contaminant limits, including heavy metals, PCBs, and dioxins, ensuring product safety.
- Oxidative Quality: Stability testing parameters, including peroxide value, anisidine value, and Totox, to ensure freshness and longevity.
Adherence to these standards ensures product integrity and builds consumer and regulatory trust.
