Burgerstein Micronutrients (Antistress Ltd, Association for Health Protection) has attained Friend of the Sea''s certification for three Omega-3 products.
The certified Burgestein products are: Burgerstein Omega-3 liquid, Burgerstein Omega-3 DHA and Burgerstein Omega-3 EPA.
Paolo Bray, founder and director of Friend of the Sea, commented: “Burgerstein certification confirms Friend of the Sea as a sustainability label of reference for Omega-3 products in the Swiss market and globally.”
Situated in Switzerland, Burgerstein operates in the development and use of micronutrient products that can be taken preventively and therapeutically to boost and maintain health.
The company uses fish oil extracted from anchoveta, Atlantic chub mackerel and Chilean jack mackerel, fished in the South East Pacific Ocean, and European sardine and European anchovy.
All species are fished by Friend of the Sea-approved purse seine fleets, which only target stocks that are not overfished. A reliable chain of custody is maintained throughout the supply chain from fisheries to manufacturing facility, ensuring that mixing with non-certified raw materials will not occur, said Burgerstein.
Barbara Hettich, marketing director of Burgerstein, said: ““Friend of the Sea sustainability certification of our Omega-3 products rewards our efforts to produce the best quality in harmony with nature. We are confident that our consumers will appreciate.”
