Guidance document here: https://www.fda.gov/...n/ucm059116.htm

 

Highly refined oils where all allergenic proteins are removed do not typically require an allergen declaration to cover the source material. However you need to be certain that the oil does not carry any allergenic protein.

Get information from your supplier of the fish oil.  I've been in a company where we did the exact same thing and the Omega-3 oil was derived from fish, but the supplier couldn't guarantee it to be free of fish allergen.  So....we discontinued that experiment.  This was 15 years ago so it was a bit new back them.  Now, dairies in the US will use other sources of omegas such as flax.
