Organic Valley ~ Omega Milk

LA FARGE, Wis.—Organic Valley Family of Farms is now offering its organic milk with the heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids ALA, DHA and EPA. Organic Valley Omega Milk’s omega-3s are from sustainably harvested fish sardines and anchovies caught off the shores of Peru (provided by Ocean Nutrition Canada Limited (ONC)). Omega-3s are fats essential to brain development and continued brain health, vision, prevention of cardiovascular disease, and normal growth and development throughout childhood. However, they are not produced in the body, nor are they found in many foods. With Omega-3 milk, Organic Valley complements its pastured-based organic milk—which already contains elevated levels of the naturally-occurring ALA omega-3—with DHA and EPA, two other omega-3 fatty acids extracted from sustainably-sourced fish oil. Each glass of Organic Valley Omega Milk delivers complete omega-3 nutrition from EPA, DHA and ALA. With 50 mg per serving of DHA and EPA, just over three glasses of Organic Valley Omega Milk daily will provide people with their recommended 160 mg daily value of those Omega-3s. Organic Valley Omega-3 Milk will begin appearing on store shelves in 2 percent and Whole half gallons and 2 percent and Whole gallons by May.
