Shopping list

There are many food products in the supermarket that are enriched with beneficial long chain omega-3 fatty acids. Some of these include:

  • Fresh, frozen and packaged fish and seafood
  • Omega-3 enriched bread, yoghurt, milk, juice and eggs.
  • Lean red meat (beef and lamb) is also a source of long chain omega-3s.

NIP There are some products on the supermarket shelves which claim 'omega-3' but may not necessarily contain the beneficial long chain omega-3s DHA and EPA. Thus it is important to check the Nutrition Information Panel on the product label to ensure the product contains long chain omega-3 DHA and EPA. Refer to the example as shown on the left.

If your dietary intake is inadequate or if you require large amounts of omega-3s to help manage a condition then long chain omega-3 supplements become an important source of these vital nutrients.
