GOED Membership Means:
A Focus on Quality
Members follow GOED’s Monograph — the global benchmark for EPA and DHA omega-3 quality. That means their omega-3 oils and finished products are made to meet high standards for safety and integrity. GOED also randomly tests omega-3 member finished products sold around the world, providing an extra layer of confidence that what’s on the label matches what’s in the bottle.
Knowledge About Global Regulations and Technical Issues
Global regulations and technical requirements for supplements and foods change constantly. Through GOED, members stay informed about new labeling or safety regulations and technical issues of importance — so they can keep offering products that meet the latest requirements.
Part of a Trusted Global Network
Members are connected with companies across the entire omega-3 supply chain — from raw material and ingredient manufacturers to contract manufacturers and brands — which gives them an understanding of industry dynamics, ensuring the highest quality products in all segments of the market.
Staying Up to Date on Omega-3 Science
GOED maintains the world’s largest compilation of clinical research on EPA and DHA omega-3s. That means members have direct access to the latest credible science, which guides their product development and helps them educate the public with accurate, science-based information.
Access to the GOED Proud Member Logo
The GOED Proud Member logo represents members’ commitment to the GOED Monograph and the high-quality standards associated with it. The logo, on GOED member products and marketing, identifies companies that have made such a commitment.
Promoting Transparency and Consumer Protection
With GOED’s help, members know about misleading information in the news or on social media — and help correct it with accurate, science-based facts. This helps protect confidence in omega-3s and ensures public conversations reflect real evidence.
