What is the source of DHA? Is there a risk of allergic reaction?
The DHA in YoBaby plus Fruit & Cereal with DHA comes from purified fish oil, specifically anchovy and sardine oil. The fish used for this oil are caught from an ecologically sustainable fishery off the coast of Peru. The fish are processed using USDA organic compliant methods in Nova Scotia to produce purified oil with a high concentration of DHA and EPA (another Omega 3 fatty acid). The fish oils we use are purified & it is third party tested to ensure that it is safe and have extremely low levels (almost undetectable) of contaminants including mercury. Our suppliers did testing at the University of Nebraska, (the foremost allergen testing lab in the country) finding the fish oil poses no allergenic risk to fish-allergic consumers, certifying the fish oil as allergen free.
