Unilever Canada and Ocean Nutrition Canada Team Up To Introduce the First Margarine to Contain MEG-3® Omega-3 Ingredient in North America

September 24, 2007 - Ocean Nutrition Canada Limited (ONC), supplier of MEG-3® brand Omega-3 EPA/DHA food and dietary supplement ingredients, is pleased to announce that Unilever Canada has introduced a new margarine, Becel Omega-3 Plus™, containing the MEG-3® EPA/DHA ingredient. Unilever Canada is the first North American spread manufacturer to add the Omega-3s, EPA and DHA, to their heart healthy spreads. To communicate to consumers that Becel Omega-3 Plus™ contains Omega-3s EPA and DHA, from fish oil, they have placed the MEG-3® logo on the back panel.

Becel Omega-3 Plus™ contains 50 mg of EPA/DHA per two teaspoon serving. It contains no trans-fat, is non-hydrogenated, and is low in saturated fat. It has also been given the health check by the Heart and Stroke Foundation. This new margarine is available in major grocery stores throughout Canada.

Shirley Chanyi, Becel Brand Development Manager with Unilever Canada, said, “We created this new Becel margarine because we wanted to provide our consumers with a simple way to contribute to their daily intake of all types of Omega-3, including the physiologically essential EPA and DHA fatty acids. We are committed to delivering heart healthy solutions to our consumers and we felt the MEG-3® Omega-3 EPA/DHA ingredient was a perfect match with our Becel margarine. Becel is a brand on a mission, committed to help consumers to “Love Your Heart”! We want Becel to continue to be the people’s choice for a healthy spread.”
