Common questions

Is Jamieson Omega-3 Select healthy?

Jamieson Omega-3 Select scores 22/100 on Tallow — our avoid band. That number comes from what is on the label: the ingredients, how processed it is, and what it is packaged in. It is not a verdict on your diet — Tallow does not weigh calories, portion size or how often you eat it, so a high score means the ingredients are clean, not that the food is unlimited.

What is in Jamieson Omega-3 Select?

Jamieson Omega-3 Select lists 2 ingredients, starting with Gelatin and Glycerin. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

Does Jamieson Omega-3 Select contain seed oils?

No. Nothing in Jamieson Omega-3 Select’s ingredient list matches a seed oil — canola, soybean, corn, cottonseed, grapeseed, sunflower, safflower, rice bran or peanut oil, or an unspecified "vegetable oil".

How processed is Jamieson Omega-3 Select?

Jamieson Omega-3 Select has no NOVA group. Tallow works NOVA out from the ingredient list, and it does not apply to supplements or non-food products; a food whose ingredients are not all classified yet stays unknown instead of being guessed. Either way the processing axis scores it neutrally.
