Hi Guys,

Would just like to know if anyone has experience or literature regarding DHA(Docosahexanoic Acid) oil from fish ( but is a refined oil) considered an allergen?

Much Thanks!

Hi fiel,

Just to help you, DHA oil is not considered as an important allergen you have to mention on your labels in European union. A lot of proteins can be considered as allergens, but a few ones are really dangerous - compared to sensitive-people - do we have to be careful because 10 people were ill because of carrots for example during the last 10 years?

I never heard DHA oil could be dangerous, according to my knowledges (but I'm not an expert)!

Hope it helps,

Emmanuel.

Thank you Emmanuel for your valued input. I too haven't heard any incidence of DHA as a dangerous oil. It is thus important to include in labels as also required by our regulatory bodies here. THanks!
