Food and Feed Safety of NS-B5ØØ27-4 Omega-3 Canola (): A New Source of Long-Chain Omega-3 Fatty Acids.

DHA canola, a genetically engineered (OECD Unique Identifier NS-B5ØØ27-4), has been developed as one of the first land-based production systems for omega-3 long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LCPUFA), whose health benefits are well-established. Yet, the marine sources of these nutrients are under high pressures due to over-fishing and increasing demand. DHA canola is a plant-based source for these essential fatty acids that produces a high level of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA).
