Big thanks to the clever folks for this important alert.

6 International manufacturers and 2 Drug Store Chains.

CVS Pharmacy Inc.
General Nutrition Corp.
Now Health Group Inc.
Omega Protein
Pharmarite
Rite Aid
Solgar
Twin Lab

*Some brands as high as 852 parts.

The manufacturers have probably distributed to many countries.

I think it's about amounts of PCB in fish oil supplements. There was something about it on the news last night.

Yes it was on the news here last nite.

I don't know if the products were sold
to other countries other than USA but I suspect there will be many.
The products are coming from overseas manufacturing companies.
I hope they are not in Canada.

I will try to find out as much as possible today and report
back.

thanks

Jeff and I take Carlson Brand omega 3- quality brand- check it out. PCBs are bad, endothelial disrupters.

Part of the problem with supplements is that they are not fda regulated the same way drugs are...

Here is a link with the abc video:

thanks for posting this.
I just took my supplements before I logged on, and one of them was a CVS fish oil

That will be the last one. Going to switch to flax seed oil. thanks again
