Nutrinova Gain Novel Food Approval in Australia and New Zealand

Nutrinova DHA is derived from the marine microalgae Ulkenia sp. and contains at least 43% DHA (of the total fatty acids).

01/06/05 Nutrinova has gained novel food approval for an oil rich in the omega-3 fatty acid DHA (doco-sahexaenoic acid) by the Food Standards Australia and New Zealand (FSANZ). Nutrinova DHA can be incorporated into any food categories without dosage limitations.

Nutrinova DHA is derived from the marine microalgae Ulkenia sp. It contains at least 43% DHA (of the total fatty acids), has many advantages over typical fish oils and is suitable for consumers following a vegetarian or vegan diet. Nutrinova DHA can be used to enrich food products such as spreads, dairy products and analogues, breakfast cereals, baked goods, nutrition bars, and beverages.

Nutrinova DHA is already approved in the US, the EU and various other countries and successfully introduced for example in dietary supplements, spreads and bread.
Scientific research and clinical studies demonstrate the importance of omega-3 PUFA and especially DHA for heart health, brain development and function as well as during pregnancy and breastfeeding. International experts agree that the consumption of long-chain omega-3 PUFA in particular DHA should be significantly increased.
