How to read this report
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.
Panel, decoded
The 1.08 g epa and dha claim matches the panel
MARKETING1.08 g — per-serving claim
PANELEPA and DHA 1.08 g — same amountSaturated Fat 1.5 g + Polyunsaturated Fat 1.5 g + Monounsaturated Fat 1 g + Sugar Alcohol 5 g + Total Omega-3 Fatty Acids 1.24 g + EPA and DHA 1.08 g
matches panelWe did the comparison: the listing claims 1.08 g of epa and dha, and the listing-image panel shows 1.08 g epa and dha 1 tbsp (15.9 g). Those amounts agree. This is internal consistency, not independent lab testing.

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; any remaining comparison concerns the front-label framing.

Every check we ran
Confirmed evidence
What checked out4
These checks found support in the public record. They confirm specific facts, not the product as a whole.
Confirmed
Omega-3 dose matches the amounts used in studies
label claims 1080 mg/serving — within the range commonly used in research (one randomized dose-response trial used 300–1,800 mg/day of EPA + DHA; omega-3 study doses vary widely). Sources: NIH ODS — Omega-3 Fatty Acids fact sheet, PubMed dose-response trial.
Exact trademark owner identified
USPTO lists Barlean's Organic Oils, LLC (LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY) in WASHINGTON, 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.
The review count moved gradually, not in one burst
Written reviews rose from 1,038 to 1,088 between February 17 and July 25, 2026. The largest rise inside any single 30-day window was about 24, so the count moved in steps rather than in one burst.
Documented concerns
What needs caution0
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 missing7
We looked for these signals but could not settle them from public sources. A gap is not a strike.
EPA + DHA dose is above one studied range
The panel lists 2,160 mg EPA + DHA per serving (1 Tbsp (15.9 g)). 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.
Listing claim matches the label panel
The listing claims 1.08 g; the photo-read Supplement Facts panel shows EPA and DHA at 1.08 g per serving — the listing text and its photo-read panel agree; this is internal consistency, not independent testing.
Photo-read pack math is internally consistent
29 servings × 15.9 g = 461.1 g, matching the printed net weight 454 g (NET WT. 16 oz (1 lb) 454 g). This checks agreement within the photo read; it is not an independent contents test.
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
This recall is not about the product on this page. Barlean's Llc recalled a different product on May 6, 2019. FDA has since closed that case. The recalled item was “Item FG 10079, Barleans, Flax Oil, 100 Softgels per bottle. UPC 7 05875 1007 6. Item FG 10081, Barleans, Lignan Flax Oil, 250 Softgels per bottle. UPC 7 05875 10008 3. Item F”. FDA recorded the reason as “Barlean's dietary supplement product is recalled due to undeclared Sulfites. Sulfite levels of finished goods does not exceed 10 ppm”. Verify at FDA’s recall database.
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 1,035 on 2026-01-28 to 1,088 on 2026-07-25 (net +53). Count movements can reflect sales, listing variants, collection resets, or moderation; this history does not establish whether reviews are authentic.
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
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.
2
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.
3
Where are the ingredients sourced, and where is the product manufactured?
“Made in USA” can describe only the final bottling step. Ask which country the actives came from and whether the facility is audited.
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
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
Why is this shown?
A listing’s promises are the reason people buy. Each one gets its own row: what was promised, what evidence would settle it, and what we could actually find. We never call a claim false — only whether proof proportionate to it exists on the public record.
| Claim | Status | What we found |
|---|---|---|
| Origin claim “…out healthy oils and helping people. Proudly made in the USA DAIRY FREE SUGAR FREE GLUTEN FREE 3X BETTER…” | Claimed, not verifiable We looked for: customs records or label filings showing where ingredients were sourced and where it was made | “Made in USA” can describe only final bottling. Ingredient-sourcing records were not located for this product. |
| Benefit claim “…es EPA and DHA fatty acids which may help to support immune system health so that you can maintai…” | Partly supported We looked for: whether the ingredient doses on the label match the doses used in published research | Ingredient evidence exists; on dose: label claims 1080 mg/serving — within the range commonly used in research (one randomized dose-response trial used 300–1,800 mg/day of EPA + DHA; omega-3 study doses vary widely). |
“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
Why is this shown?
An ingredient can be well-studied at one amount and barely studied at the amount in your bottle. This lines the label up against the doses researchers actually used. It answers ‘are these the same numbers?’ — never ‘should you take this?’
| Ingredient | Where this label sits | Reading |
|---|---|---|
| Total Omega-3 Fatty Acids | shaded = doses used in studies (300 mg–1.8 g) · bar = this label | 1.24 g — within 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.

Where it sells
We found a brand storefront, but we could not match any price on it to this exact product when we checked.
Brand store barleans.com: 55 supplement products — for comparison, single-focus brands typically carry 5–30 products; very broad catalogs are common among companies that rebrand ready-made formulas — a pattern note, not a verdict.
