Omega-3 fish oil and powder

Applications

With MarisOmega, we focus on providing natural triglyceride omega-3 fish oil and powder tailored for applications demanding a clean taste and high oxidative stability, such as infant formula and fortified health foods. Our omega-3 fish oils also have applications in chewable soft gel capsules and novel formats such as gummies and liquids. Our omega-3 fish powders include protein-based formulas as well as starch-based products for hypoallergenic and acidic foods. Applications include infant formula, dietary supplements and functional foods.

Sourcing and manufacturing

Our omega-3 fish oils and powders come from healthy fish stocks that are caught using sustainable catching methods. Our products are produced in state-of-the-art facilities that meet all local and international regulations, including good manufacturing practices and food hygiene standards.

All products undergo rigorous third-party testing, in addition to the testing performed throughout the extraction and refining processes. Our up-to-the-moment expertise means we know what to test for, and should a new contaminant emerge, we’ll be prepared.

Our approach to sourcing and qualifying omega-3 ingredients goes beyond mere specification compliance. We embrace a comprehensive 360° perspective, considering:

  • The primary raw materials used in ingredient extraction,
  • Every processing step along the value chain,
  • Utilization of processing aids and additives,
  • Rigorous measures for contaminant removal and ensuring product safety,
  • Implications related to regulatory standards,
  • Integration of ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) criteria.

We offer various types of premium quality omega-3 fish oil and powder, all of which must meet the strict quality criteria we set. As an example, see below the supply-chain set-up and quality criteria for our omega-3 fish oil: MarisDHA Fish Oil.

Sustainable skipjack fishing grounds for omega-3 fish oil in the Indian Ocean

Tuna stock ratings acc. MSC Germany report

  • Stock situation:
  • good
  • intermediate
  • overfished

Sustainable fishing grounds

Fish are caught in FAO catching areas 51 and 57 (Indian Ocean), a region where skipjack stocks are confirmed to be healthy. Fishing vessels are registered for compliance with the EU’s strict food safety regime.

As part of our commitment to sustainable fishing, our omega-3 fish oil is only produced from fish caught using traditional purse-seine fishing methods.

Purse seine, MSC

Sustainable catching methods

For avoiding by-catch, long line method and fish-aggrevating devices are strictly omitted. Traditional purse-seine catching instead ensures that only the targeted species is captured.

Our omega-3 fish oil is tested internally and by third-party laboratories.

Product release

Before release, the final product is tested internally and by third-party laboratories for specification compliance. Particular emphasis is put on the oil’s organoleptic assessment and its oxidative status as well as on strict limits for process contaminants and persistent organic pollutants.

Our omega-3 fish oil is refined in a GMP-designed facility.

Gentle refining and short-path distillation

Next, the oil is refined in a GMP-designed facility that uses short-path distillation for highly efficient low-temperature contaminant removal. The refining is carried out gently without chemical modification, leaving the natural triglyceride composition unaltered.

Our omega-3 fish oil is produced under EU-certified food processing.

EU-certified food processing

Directly after the catch, fish filets are processed into canned food for human consumption, and crude fish oil is extracted from the remaining fish heads. The fish-processing facilty sets strict limits for raw-material freshness and contaminant control. The factory operates under EU safety, health and environmental law. Its HACCP system is regularly audited.

Outstanding quality

Manufacturing practice and control exceeds industry standards at every level of the supply chain. The result is a fully natural, ultra-clean DHA oil with excellent organoleptic properties and lowest levels of oxidation and contaminants. The oil meets highest standards for traceability, sustainability and safety.
