Ocean Nutrition Canada’s MEG-3® Omega-3 incorporated into a functional bread product

Ocean Nutrition Canada Limited (ONC), based out of Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, is pleased to announce the launch of Irish Pride Bakeries’ first Omega-3 bakery product. Irish Pride Vita Kids Bread is fortified with Omega-3 EPA/DHA and is made specifically with kid’s nutrition in mind. Every 100 grams of Vita Kids Bread provides 40 mg Omega-3 EPA/ DHA, is a source of folic acid, Vitamin C, Vitamin D, is preservative-free and has 25% reduced salt. Children’s particular tastes often make it difficult for parents to serve them a complete, healthy and balanced diet, including fish and all other food groups. Products like Irish Pride Vita Kids Bread make it easier to fit important Omega-3s and necessary vitamins and minerals into children’s sometimes-picky food preferences. Jon Getzinger, Chief Sales and Marketing Officer at ONC said, “We are excited to be a part of Irish Pride’s first ever Omega-3 fortified bread. EPA/ DHA is important at all life stages and it’s great to see a product like this that helps to address low Omega-3 intake levels in Irish children, while also providing necessary vitamins and minerals.”
