Omega 3 Group Launches New Logo Program

The more than 80 businesses that are members of the organization have made a commitment to comply with GOED's monograph standard -- regulations that are stricter than any in the world -- and adhere to a code of ethics for their respective marketing practices.

Sep 1 2010 --- As awareness of the health benefits surrounding omega-3s increases, identifying organizations that have made a commitment to strict quality standards has now gotten easier. The Global Organization for EPA and DHA (GOED) confirmed the launch of its new "Proud Member" logo program available to member companies.

GOED's member companies range from omega-3 suppliers and manufacturers to traders and consumer product companies. The more than 80 businesses that are members of the organization have made a commitment to comply with GOED's monograph standard -- regulations that are stricter than any in the world -- and adhere to a code of ethics for their respective marketing practices.

Member companies can now emphasize their affiliation and this commitment through the use of the GOED Omega-3 Proud Member logo on their websites, in business-to-business product brochures or in other trade advertising and outreach.

"The logo program will help suppliers, manufacturers, retailers and others interested in the health benefits of omega-3s to easily identify the companies who have met GOED's strict quality and ethics standards," said Adam Ismail, GOED's executive director. "Companies using this logo can be immediately identified as omega-3 industry leaders committed to increasing education on and awareness of the omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA."
