GoldEgg Omega-3 Eggs
Flax in the feed is how this grader makes an omega-3 egg.
Its type page says one large omega-3 enriched egg provides 400 mg of DHA, which it calls 10 times a regular large egg. The same page puts vitamin E at 50 percent of the daily recommendation and folate at 20 percent.
GoldEgg Omega-3 is the carton name on the company form, in several sizes. Ontario packs are graded with Gray Ridge and can carry Foodland Ontario. Alberta packs are sold by Sparks in Calgary.
P&H Foods owns the brand. The Winnipeg parent is Parrish & Heimbecker. The page does not say the 400 mg figure is printed only on the GoldEgg lid.
