Omega-3 labelling and other claims

If you choose to highlight the Omega-3 content or health benefits of your product, this may be classed as making a nutrition or health claim. These types of claims are regulated by The Nutrition and Health Claims Regulation.

Seafish has produced a number of guidance documents which offer information and advice about omega-3 labelling and other health claims on seafood products.
