Substantial Equivalence of BioDHA Algal Oil from Schizochytrium sp. : Nutraveris succeeded

16 October 2013

Nutraveris constituted and submitted for evaluation an application on behalf of Bioplus Life Sciences Pvt. Ltd. for an opinion under Article 3.4. of the novel food Regulation (EC No. 258/97) on the substantial equivalence of BioDHA algal oil to DHA-rich algal oil which was authorised for the EU market to Martek Biosciences Corporation through Commission Decisions 2003/427/EC and 2009/778/EC.

Based on the information provided, the Food Safety Authority of Ireland (FSAI) is satisfied that BioDHA algal oil produced by Bioplus Life Sciences Pvt. Ltd. is substantially equivalent with respect to its composition, nutritional value, metabolism, intended use and level of undesirable substances to the Martek DHA-rich algal oil.
