Normally this is the kind of thing I enjoy. As a fisherman, I like being in the presence of fish. The living animal is somehow exhilarating, whether glimpsed crashing bait alongside a jetty or glowing vague and green 20 feet below the surface. A fish’s appearance in the wild feels special and makes the fisherman feel lucky. But luck had nothing to do with the cod swimming in the Norwegian tub that day.

Under the terms of the agreement, General Mills may develop certain food products containing Martek DHA(TM) and must purchase, subject to certain exceptions, substantially all of its DHA needs from Martek for these products in the United States and other designated territories. There are no minimum purchase requirements or other financial commitments to Martek. General Mills intends for the initial launch of a product containing Martek DHA(TM) to take place in 2007.

I believe that people’s health will be better for it, and I applaud General Mills for taking this action,” said Henry “Pete” Linsert, Jr., Martek’s Chairman and CEO. DHA is a long chain omega-3 fatty acid that supports brain, eye and cardiovascular health throughout life. There is a large and growing body of […]
