Chinese omega-3 supplier joins GOED

Chinese ingredients supplier Fenchem has joined the global omega-3 association GOED after including fish oil ingredients in its product portfolio just a year ago.

Fenchem said membership of the Global Organisation for EPA and DHA omega-3s (GOED) demonstrated its commitment to quality production and innovation.

In October 2011, GOED partnered with the Chinese Nutrition Society for a symposium in Beijing as part of its strategy to expand in China.

Adam Ismail, executive director of GOED, told this publication that the association wanted to expand its membership in China with responsible companies that manufacture high quality products and market them ethically.

He also noted that in China, “it is a matter of educating the industry, consumers and professionals and ultimately improving the market.”

Fenchem was founded in 1995 and has a global reach with offices in the US, Europe and Malaysia.
