First, you need to know that the Nutritional Supplement Industry is regulated based on the Food Standard which is far less stringent that the prescription drugs. Most follows the GMP Food standard. \n\nHow to select fish-oil supplement then?\nRecently popular cod liver oil supplement maker Seven Seas took two of its products off the shelves in Singapore.\n\nThis prompted The Straits Times (Mind Your Body) to publish a front page article "Fish Oil: A user's guide" on 26 April 2006.\n\nIt stated "when choosing fish oil, it is important to note the levels of fatty acids, which offer the healthy benefits.\nSo 1000mg of fish oil with 180mg og EPA and 120mg of DHA provide 300mg - not 1000mg - of omega-3 fats."\n\nBase on "Environment Defence" a leading US non-profits organisation, has been studying fish and fish oil supplements since 1967. It has compiled a report on 75 brands of fish oil supplements and rated them according to purity. Only 3 brands available in Singapore are listed as "Best Choice" - ceritfy to be free from heavy metals, dioxins and PCBs. These brands are Nordic Naturals, Shaklee and Usana. \n\nWhich offers the best value?\nI have done a price comparsion on EPA/DHA level and found that USANA to be 50% cheaper than the other 2 products.\n\nHope this helps.\n\nfrom: Victor Phua (phuact@gmail.com)

The main difference between cod liver oil and fish oil is that cod liver oil is high in vitamin A and D and as the name suggest is extracted from the liver of cod fish.\n\nyou should go for fish oil if you are out in the sun alot.\nbut if you are not or live in a place where its really cold and less sunshine, then you should go for cod liver oil as it will provide you with Vitamin D that you are supposed to have form the sun.\n\nthats the only difference, both contain omega-3 so no worries about that...

the fda basically has to approve everything.  they set the regulations and guidelines all food and medicines have to follow.  They also set warning labels.\nhttp://www.fda.gov/opacom/morechoices/mission.html\nhere is the mission statement.  I think this is what you want and if you browse the web site you can find out more specifics.

Can't recommend any specific brand, but make sure the fish oil is labeled:\n\n1 - Natural\n2 - Pharmaceutical grade\n3 - Distilled (to remove impurities)

It's no use trying to find that out. Those conditions are to be fully controlled to get "non-colored" products.\nAnd be careful with what you use in food products!!

I don't know.  Why hasn't seafood ever been required to have FDA approval?\n\nGeneral apathy is my guess.

I'm not sure if I am getting your question: Do you produce what you are selling? Like actually producing the jam you are selling??\n\nIn any case FDA needs to be sure about those products are actually healthy, that they are produced under out of pathogens standards and, well, in case they produce any kind of disease they have someone to blame for it. So it is because they have to take care of the health of the people consuming your products.\nAnd the permit would be for the products to be consumed by people, not for you selling them.\nHope you find this info useful

This involves years and years of development and testing, and unfortunately it can't be stated in just a few paragraphs in a forum like this. I suggest doing some research online for "FDA Approval Process" and "Guidelines," as the paperwork available for this is somewhere in the thousands of pages.
