The monograph is primarily applicable to pharmaceutical applications today due to the narrow scope, but some of the contaminant and quality limits in the USP monograph differ from the GOED Voluntary Monograph, so the organization says companies making such products should be aware of the variances.
GOED is a proactive and accountable association of processors, refiners, manufacturers, distributors, marketers, retailers and supporters of products containing Eicosapentaenoic Acid (EPA) and Docosahexaenoic Acid (DHA) – Omega-3 Long Chain Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids (LCPUFAs).
The Organization's objectives are to educate consumers about the health benefits of EPA/DHA and work with government groups, the healthcare community and the industry, while setting high standards for the business sector.
