CRN Working Group Ratifies Omega 3 MonographWashington, D.C.-based Council for Responsible Nutrition’s (CRN) omega 3 Working Group recently ratified a voluntary monograph intended to raise the bar for the quality of long chain omega 3 EPA and DHA products marketed in North America, in order to ensure greater consumer confidence in these nutrients. The working group, with an international membership including 24 companies that supply or market long chain omega 3 EPA and DHA globally, has been working on the voluntary monograph for over a year. Broad input was solicited from industry as well as from other parties with an interest in omega 3 fatty acids, including regulators, standard-setting bodies, academics and consumer groups.
