Frutarom Health BU taps into omega-3 market

FRUTAROM Switzerland Ltd., Health BU Switzerland has entered the omega-3 global market where it will offer deodorised DHA and EPA marine-sourced omega-3 ingredient for food and beverages as well as dietary supplements. Its access to these industries as a provider of flavours and savoury ingredients will help smooth the entry.

Studies have shown the benefits of omega-3 in improving cardiovascular health, brain and cognitive development, as well as eye health, but consumers are not getting adequate amounts in their diets due to the lack of intake of food with EPA and DHA omega-3 fatty acids. These nutrients have a good place in products for infant development and healthy aging.
