Omega-3 features in new milk

EUROPE – A milk fortified with Omega-3 has been launched by Dawn Dairies, Ireland following a research and development collaboration with ingredient supplier DSM Nutritional Products.

The Omega-3 content is derived from highly refined fish oil, which is added to the milk in emulsion form, while a specially developed dosing system allows the Omega-3 to be added to the fresh milk easily.

According to Dawn Dairies, using refined fish oil in this way provides a more directly available supply of Omega-3 fatty acids than is available from vegetable oil sources of Omega-3.

Available in both full and reduced fat variants, Dawn Omega Milk is targeted at health conscious consumers of all ages. As well as Omega-3, the milk has added vitamins A, D, E and folic acid.
