What this reflects
This is not about recognition alone.
It reflects a shift in how omega-3 is sourced in pet food.
Performance and sustainability are no longer trade-offs.
Formulation teams expect both, with predictable supply and consistent quality.
Algae-based omega-3 is moving from alternative to practical choice in that context.
What this means for pet food brands
In practical terms, this means:
-
Reliable omega-3 DHA supply, independent of marine resources
-
Reduced exposure to fish oil price swings and supply shocks
-
Easy integration into existing formulations
-
Consistent quality and strong palatability
-
Supports Scope 3 targets and sustainability positioning
-
Scalable direction for future sourcing
Proven in practice
AlgaPrime™ DHA is produced through controlled fermentation, independent of wild fish capture.
Used at commercial scale in pet food today, it provides a stable, traceable source of omega-3 DHA with consistent quality and performance.
It supports both formulation performance and supply continuity in real-world applications.
Climate impact, quantified
Lifecycle assessment data shows a consistently 30-40% lower climate impact compared to average fish oil.
Based on ISO 14040/14044-compliant lifecycle assessment using industrial-scale production data. Results vary depending on fish species and production pathway.

Supply resilience
AlgaPrime™ DHA helps pet food brands reduce reliance on marine omega-3 supply.
-
Fermentation-based and fully traceable
-
Independent of wild fish capture
-
Consistent industrial-scale output
-
Reduced exposure to marine supply constraints
For pet food manufacturers, this supports more predictable sourcing and long-term supply planning.
