German omega-3 player KD Pharma has achieved 5-star ratings in the IFOS (International Fish Oil Standards) certification of its KD-Pür line of omega-3 concentrates.

The Nutrasource IFOS program gave the omega-3 oils the highest possible rating for safety, purity and quality, the company announced.

“KD Pharma has always prided itself in the exceptional quality and purity of its omega-3 concentrates,“ said Christine Krumbholz, Director of KD Pharma Quality Assurance & Regulatory Affairs. “The IFOS 5-star rating clearly demonstrates this commitment to our clients and consumers.”

Nutrasouce’s IFOS program for fish oil and omega-3 products is in its 11th year. The program tests hundreds of finished products for nutritional quality, contaminants and stability and delivers the testing results to the consumer in free consumer notification reports on the company’s website www.ifosprogram.com.

“The benefits of such third party testing include consumer assurance of product quality, safety and potency with the consumer reports adding an additional element of transparency for the consumer.” says René Kamminga, VP of Nutrition & Business Development. “We look forward to working with our clients to strengthen their brands in the market and expanding our IFOS certified omega-3 range even further.”
