Martek Biosciences Corporation, Columbia, MD, has been reviewed by Canada’s government health agency, Health Canada, which supports the use of Martek’s proprietary DHASCO® and ARASCO® oils in infant formulas in Canada. Health Canada’s action pertains solely to Martek’s oil blend and does not extend to any other sources of DHA and ARA. As a result of this action, once infant formula manufacturers satisfy Health Canada’s pre-market notification procedures relating to infant formula, products containing Martek’s oils will become available in Canada.
