A. While dairy foods do not naturally contain omega-3s, some new varieties of milk, cheese and yogurt have omega-3s DHA or both omega-3 DHA and EPA added to them. This is because many Americans do not regularly consume fish that naturally contains these omega-3s. Now there is a convenient and tasty way to get more of these omega-3s in the diet – through dairy foods with omega-3s added to them.
