Relative newcomer to fish oil supply, Florida-based Originates has won hygiene approval from the European Union to sell its EssentiOmega ingredient across the bloc.

The European Commission’s Directorate for Health and Consumers issued the approval, Originates said, on the basis that Originates met stipulations regarding vessels and handling of raw materials after providing “full documentation”.

“With an ever-growing body of science on the health benefits of omega 3’s fueling consumer demand, high quality standards are an important aspect in protecting the best interests of consumers and the industry,” said Leslie van der Meulen, Originates director of sales.
