At Naturmega, quality is not simply a claim, it is a measurable standard. Quality is our lifestyle Our omega-3 oils undergo advanced purification and strict contaminant monitoring to ensure exceptional purity and safety. Batches are tested against internationally recognized standards and regulatory limits, including those established by the European Union, CODEX, FDA, GOED, and independent verification programs.
One example is MOAH (Mineral Oil Aromatic Hydrocarbons), environmental contaminants that have become an increasing focus of global regulatory authorities.
Since 2024, European authorities have established a recommended limit of below 2 ppm, with potential regulatory updates under evaluation that may adjust acceptable thresholds in the coming years. Naturmega consistently delivers MOAH levels below 2 ppm, reflecting the effectiveness of our purification technologies and raw material selection.
This level of purity places Naturmega among the manufacturers capable of delivering omega-3 ingredients with extremely low contaminant levels, supporting both regulatory readiness and premium product positioning.
Omega-3 oils require careful monitoring to ensure safety and quality throughout the production process. Naturmega applies a comprehensive contaminant control program that evaluates multiple categories of environmental and process related contaminants. Our internal specifications are designed to meet or exceed internationally recognized standards such as GOED, IFOS, and European regulatory requirements. The monitoring program includes:
• Inorganic arsenic
• Cadmium
• Lead
• Mercury
• Dioxins and furans
• Dioxin-like PCBs
• Total PCBs
• Polycyclic aromatic
hydrocarbons (PAHs)
• Benzo(a)pyrene
• Plasticizers
• Pesticides
• 3-MCPD esters
• Glycidyl fatty acid esters
• Mineral Oil Aromatic
Hydrocarbons (MOAH)
As regulatory expectations and consumer awareness continue to evolve, Naturmega is advancing its internal quality standards to support the next generation of nutraceutical brands.
Our proposed Premium Purity Specifications establish significantly tighter contaminant thresholds than many current industry requirements.
