FDA recall appears in this brand's history
An exact-product recall is a direct signal. A different product from the same firm is company context, not a strike against this item.
Evidence and sources
Brand-level context only, not a finding about this product. Now Foods recalled a different or not-exactly-bound product on 2025-05-08: “regular yeast was inadvertently packaged as nutritional yeast” (status: Terminated). The recalled product was: “NOW Nutritional Yeast Powder, Nt…

Research behind the findings
Dose and research context
Ingredient context used alongside the captured panel. These sources do not test this product or establish safety or effectiveness.
Dose vs research
1.2 g declared
The panel declares 1,200 mg EPA + DHA per serving, within one studied 300–1800 mg/day context. The fish-oil concentrate total is not substituted for EPA + DHA.
Declared dose sits within the cited study context

Confirmed evidence
What checked out01
These checks found support in the public record. They confirm specific facts, not the product as a whole.
EPA + DHA dose is within one studied range
The panel declares 1,200 mg EPA + DHA per serving (2 Softgels). One randomized dose-response trial used 300–1,800 mg/day; omega-3 studies vary widely. This is research context, not a recommendation or safety verdict.
Documented concerns
What needs caution00
These are documented contradictions or claims that need more evidence. They are separate from missing data.
No contradictions or product-specific cautions were found at this check depth.
Unresolved public record
What is still missing07
We looked for these signals but could not settle them from public sources. A gap is not a strike.
Multi-ingredient formula — panel read, serving weight unknown
We read the full Supplement Facts panel from the listing-image panel (below), but the label doesn’t state a serving weight, so the arithmetic can’t run. A gap in the label’s information, not evidence of a problem.
Research context is available for the listed ingredients
Published sources describe how omega-3 have been studied. This is ingredient context only; the record does not establish that this product delivers the studied dose or outcome. Sources: NIH ODS — Omega-3 Fatty Acids fact sheet, PubMed dose-response trial.
FDA recall appears in this brand's history
Brand-level context only, not a finding about this product. Now Foods recalled a different or not-exactly-bound product on 2025-05-08: “regular yeast was inadvertently packaged as nutritional yeast” (status: Terminated). The recalled product was: “NOW Nutritional Yeast Powder, Nt. Wt. 10oz. UPC 7 33739 02460 2” — not necessarily the product on this page. Verify at FDA’s recall database.
No label filed with NIH's public catalog
The NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database has no matching label yet. Ingestion lags the market — recorded as a gap, not a strike.
This item belongs to a catalog variation family
The paid catalog links this exact item to a parent listing. Review counts on public product pages may be shared across sizes, flavors, or other variants, so the count history is listing context — not evidence that reviewers received or tested this exact variant.
180-day review-count history is on file
Exact-listing history records written-review counts from 127 on 2026-02-27 to 130 on 2026-07-20 (net +3). Count movements can reflect sales, listing variants, collection resets, or moderation; this history does not establish whether reviews are authentic.
Barcode record is too sparse to confirm identity
Open Food Facts resolves 733739016836 to "Now Super Epa" (brand not supplied), but that record lacks enough exact brand/product detail to confirm or contradict this listing.
What to ask and check
What would settle the open questions
Why is this shown?
Everything we couldn’t verify is something a person can still ask about. Rather than leave gaps sitting as dead ends, we turn each one into a specific question — the exact document, citation, or number that would settle it — plus the things you can confirm yourself with the bottle in your hand.
Ask the brand or seller
1
Is this label filed with NIH’s Dietary Supplement Label Database (DSLD)?
Filing is voluntary, so absence proves nothing — but a filed label puts the full ingredient table on public record where anyone can read it.
Most brands and sellers publish a contact route. A clear answer adds evidence to the record; no answer leaves the question open.
Check for yourself — no one’s permission needed
1
Compare the panel on the bottle in your hand to the one shown in this record.
Ours was read from listing photos and can contain reading errors. The physical label is the source of truth — if they disagree, tell us and we’ll correct the record.
2
Scan the barcode on the package and confirm it reads 733739016836.
A mismatch between the barcode on the box and the one on the listing is worth pausing over — it can indicate a different variant, a repack, or a counterfeit.
3
Check the lot number and expiry on the bottle against any COA you’re given.
A certificate that doesn’t name your lot doesn’t describe what you’re holding.
These are the open questions on this specific record — not a warning about the product, and not a suggestion to buy or avoid it. Getting them answered is how you decide for yourself.
