New Australian Standards for Squalene and Shark Liver Oil.

_{We applaud Standards Australia for taking action for developing a new standard for Squalene and Shark Liver Oil after several years of hard work.                                                                                                               The AS 5380:2023 (published 23/06/2023) specifies requirements for responsible harvesting of sustainable sources of squalene and shark liver oil, quality parameters and methods of testing and analysis, requirements for packaging and labelling customer products, especially when claiming provenance.}

Using Isotope Fingerprints to Determine Fish Oil Authenticity.  

_{With claims including single species, designated geographical origin, sustainable practices and traceability, Individuals and illicit organisations are exploiting these points of price difference by circulating adulterated, mislabeled products with sub-standard fish oil and/or misrepresented product of origin for financial gain. Compound-Specific Carbon Stable Isotope Analysis of Squalene is the latest way to Establish Provenance and Ensure Sustainability for the Deep-Water Shark Liver Oil Industry.}

Court rules fish oil capsules "Not made in Australia".

When can Imported Fish Oil be "Made in Australia"? 

_{What happened next was that t63 brands of squalene oil and 11 brands of krill oil even though they did not use fish caught or grown in Australia.  Many of these brands even use the word “Australia” or Australian geography in their brand name...'}

"Australian Made" and Manufacturing...What does it really mean?

_{The veneer of "Australian-ness" can be misleading. Recently, we have received a number of enquiries from our clients and suppliers regarding what the "Australian Made" certificate is all about. 83% more people are employed because we choose to be an Australian manufacturer and not an importer.                                                                        31 May 2017}
