Hello,

1. If you supply to EU do tests once per year according with regulation 1924/2006:
SOURCE OF OMEGA-3 FATTY ACIDS
A claim that a food is a source of omega-3 fatty acids, and any claim likely to have the same meaning for the consumer, may only be made where the product contains at least 0,3 g alpha-linolenic acid per 100 g and per 100 kcal, or at least 40 mg of the sum of eicosapentaenoic acid and docosahexaenoic acid per 100 g and per 100 kcal.

2. Do you have any animal protein in your facility? If no probably get confirmation letters from ingredient suppliers that they do not process any animal proteins in their facility, do not use animal-derived products for your product and you can do tests for your product, probably oil to see if there are any animal proteins in your products

Some suppliers overlook animal-sourced ingredients in additives. It pays to look into this carefully.

Indeed as SHQuality states, be aware that if you use a bleaching step in your oil refining some active carbon may be animal derived. Simalerly for any additives.

I note dated 2006. Still applicable ? Never revised ?
