International Fish Oil Standards (IFOS™)

Launched as SGS Nutrasource’s inaugural certification program in 2004, IFOS™ allows marine oil companies to test and certify their products based on the highest quality, safety, and purity standards in the world.

Since 2004, IFOS™ (International Fish Oil Standards) has been the gold standard for omega-3 supplement certification.

IFOS™ currently certifies over 200 brands worldwide and has tested over 15,000 product SKUs to date. No other certification program across the globe tests and posts fish oils by individual lot number, making it easy for shoppers to find what they are looking for.

Our passion for scientific evidence and commitment to supporting accurate label claims provides our clients with a validated, research-backed way to confirm their products are safe, pure, and properly labelled.

There’s no better way to tell your customers your product meets the world’s highest standards than with the internationally-recognized IFOS™ certification.
