Strict regulations pertaining to nutritional claims of omega-3 in food may impede the sports nutrition ingredients market outlook
Product labels and claims are indispensable when it comes to educating customers about a product. However, in certain cases these labels and claims cannot serve their purpose due to strict regulations on nutritional claims of dietary supplements, which poses a major challenge for the industry.
While many omega-3 supplements claim to be rich in fatty acid content (EPA, DHA, and ALA) which are beneficial for managing heart health, cognitive functions, vision health, brain development, and overall well-being. Regulators such as the U.S. FDA, under the Food Labelling Content Claims, forbid the mention of certain nutritional claims for dietary supplements and conventional foods with omega-3. According to the watchdog, the claims do not fulfil the requirements of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FDA&C Act).
