Neptune Biotech Asserts Safety of NKO

LAVAL, Quebec Neptune Technologies & Bioressources issued a statement affirming the safety of its Neptune Krill Oil (NKO®), following the filing of a lawsuit in California alleging many fish oil ingredients and finished products contain unsafe levels of environmental contaminants, including polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs). Tina Sampalis, chief science officer, stated: Neptune provides high quality in purity, composition and benefits with its products. We regularly have the purity of NKO rigorously tested at independent accredited laboratories for all potential contaminants including PCBs, dioxins, pesticides and heavy metals, among others. NKO complies with strict standards, which justifies its regulatory approvals in the U.S., Canada, the European Union and Australia. Unlike some other marine oil manufacturers, Neptune is not concerned nor is it affected by the recent observation of fish oil PCB contamination.
