Friend of the Sea announces certification of Calamarine™, a new high-DHA Omega-3 ingredient from the Norwegian company Pharma Marine. The ingredient comprises a range of concentrates as well as natural oil made from calamari trimmings from food processing factories all over the world.
By using only the by-products from existing fisheries, Pharma Marine is adding value to these important global fishery resources. Friend of the Sea recognizes that increasing the use of fishery by-products is very important on the road towards a more sustainable future for global fisheries.
The announcement comes at a time when Friend of the Sea is rapidly gaining recognition as the international standard for sustainability certification of fishmeal, fish oils and Omega-3 supplements.
“Calamarine™ is a range of new high-DHA Omega-3 products derived from byproducts only. We are thankful that we are able to bring this new eco-friendly and uniquely sustainable ingredient to our customers in a time when consumers are becoming increasingly educated on issues of sustainability and accountability.” comments Pharma Marine chairman, Leif Kjetil Gjendemsjø, himself a 20 year veteran of the Omega-3 business. “We are glad that our company and product has passed external scrutiny and that Friend of the Sea recognizes the positive impact our production has on the environment”
