What this is. We compare what a listing claims against what public records show — label arithmetic, barcode registries, NIH’s label catalog, FDA enforcement data, certification registries, and published research. Every statement below traces to one of those.
What the states mean. Confirmed = an outside source agrees. Contradicted = an outside source disagrees. Caution = something needs explaining. No data = we looked and found nothing — a gap, not a strike.
What it is not. A clean record is not an endorsement and never proof a product works. A thin record is not an accusation. We publish evidence and gaps; the conclusion is yours. Nothing here is medical advice.
Something wrong? Every figure is meant to be checkable — sources are named and linked. Send a correction and we’ll fix the record.
The listing-image panel publishes an amount for each of its 11 listed rows. That supports ingredient-by-ingredient review; it does not verify the contents.
| Panel row | Amount | %DV | What to notice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Calories | 25 | — | |
| Total Fat | 2 g | — | |
| Saturated Fat | 0 g | — | |
| Monounsaturated Fat | 0.5 g | — | |
| Polyunsaturated Fat | 2 g | — | |
| Cholesterol | 20 mg | — | |
| Protein | 0.5 g | — | |
| Vitamin E (as d-alpha tocopherol) | 13.4 mg (20 IU) | — | |
| Fish Oil Concentrate providing: | 2,000 mg (2 g) | — | |
| EPA (Eicosapentaenoic Acid) (Omega 3) | 1,000 mg (1 g) | — | |
| DHA (Docosahexaenoic Acid) (Omega 3) | 150 mg | — |
FDA rules (21 CFR 101.36) require the amount of each dietary ingredient per serving unless hidden in a listed “proprietary blend” (legal, but a transparency yellow flag). A label stating no amount at all is non-compliant — a checkable red flag. This panel states amounts; the open question is whether those listed amounts are independently verified and how they compare with relevant research.
vision:claude-cli:subscription Amounts are shown as listed panel data, not independently lab-tested contents.
Every check we ran
Confirmed evidence
These checks found support in the public record. They confirm specific facts, not the product as a whole.
The panel lists 1,150 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.
The panel gives a per-ingredient amount rather than hiding quantities inside a proprietary blend, so each one can be compared to published research.
USPTO lists Consac Industries, Inc. (CORPORATION; LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY) in NEW YORK, USA for the exact brand wordmark. This identifies the USPTO mark owner or applicant; it does not by itself prove who manufactures or sells this product.
Documented concerns
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
We looked for these signals but could not settle them from public sources. A gap is not a strike.
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.
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.
This recall is not about the product on this page. Oak Haven, Inc dba Country Life Natural Foods. recalled a different product on February 18, 2016. FDA has since closed that case. The recalled item was “Country Life Natural Foods Labeled SHELLED PISTACHIOS RAW NET WT. 2lb (906 g) plastic bags item 030244 and Batch 1357 batch number 1357 in the lower left corner of the label”. FDA recorded the reason as “Country Life Natural foods shelled raw pistachios, sold in 2 lb bags and SAM International labeled 30lb boxes because it has the potential to be contaminated with Salmonella”. Verify at FDA’s recall database.
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.
Exact-listing history records written-review counts from 116 on 2025-11-30 to 117 on 2026-04-22 (net +1). Count movements can reflect sales, listing variants, collection resets, or moderation; this history does not establish whether reviews are authentic.
The package says manufactured for: Country Life, LLC, 180 Vanderbilt Motor Parkway, Hauppauge, NY 11788 (USA). USPTO names Consac Industries, Inc. as the exact wordmark owner. That can be a normal distributor, manufacturer, or licensing relationship; the saved records do not establish the relationship.
What to ask and check
Ask the brand or seller
Can you send the certificate of analysis (COA) for the lot number on my bottle?
A real COA names the testing laboratory, the test date, the lot it covers, and what was measured. “Third-party tested” with no document behind it is a marketing sentence.
What is the product’s UPC or GTIN?
The barcode is how a product gets matched to outside records — certification registries, label databases, recall data. Without it, almost nothing can be cross-checked.
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
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.
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.
What the listing promises — claim by claim
| Claim | Status | What we found |
|---|---|---|
| Quality-testing claim “…THIRD PARTY TESTED…” | Claimed, not verifiable We looked for: the observed listing, saved brand product page, any linked COA or test report; NSF, IFOS, USP, Informed-Sport were not queried | No named laboratory or lot-specific certificate was found for this exact product. A related brand page names no testing issuer and links no product-bound report; its UPC is not published. NSF, IFOS, USP, and Informed-Sport were not checked in this record. This is a public-evidence limit, not a finding that testing did not occur. |
| Manufacturing claim “…GMP…” | Partly supported We looked for: the facility registration or certificate behind the claim | “GMP-certified” describes factory processes, not what is in the bottle. The claim does not name a certifier or public register that a shopper can check. |
| Benefit claim “…ESSENTIAL NUTRIENTS - Healthy levels of the omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA can't be efficiently made in the body and must be supplemented to promote emotional health.…” | Partly supported We looked for: whether the ingredient doses on the label match the doses used in published research | Published research exists for ingredients in this formula. Whether this product’s doses match those studies could not be confirmed. |
“No evidence located” does not mean a claim is false — it means the seller has not put evidence proportionate to the claim on the public record, and we could not find any. Absence of proof is not proof of absence.
This label vs. the doses studied
| Ingredient | Where this label sits | Reading |
|---|---|---|
| Fish Oil Concentrate providing: | shaded = doses used in studies (300 mg–1.8 g) · bar = this label | 2 g — above the studied range |
Matching a studied dose does not mean the product works, and missing it does not mean it fails — it shows whether the label and the research are talking about the same amounts. Not a recommendation to take any amount.
