In the Guardian today.
Not the first time I've seen results like this for fish oil tests.
Like most supplements, dubious claims and quality.

Wow, a study by a group that promotes the sale of Omega-3 fish oil says that Omega-3 fish oil doesn't have any issues at all?
I know I'm sold.
In the US unregulated stuff like vitamins and fish oil are are a cowboy market.
This is completely different to OZ with the TGA requiring vitamins and fish oil and some other health stuff needing to pass regulations in order to sell it in OZ.
Just eat the fish :P
They don’t even name any brands or anything. What a useless article.
The Guardian a reputable newspaper, and in Australia, the Editor is Lenore Taylor.
A couple of other studies on the question:
The Health Report about the inefficacy of fish oil as it is promoted:
https://www.abc.net.au/radionational/programs/healthreport/f…This study from 2018 which explains that the Australian TGA limit is relatively low, and that oxidation was found in up to a third of supplements.
https://scholar.google.com.au/scholar?hl=en&as_sdt=0%2C5&q=h…In the case of gel caps couldn't you just pierce with a needle and check the smell?
Not fun, but reassuring if doesn't smell off… as fish oil goes anyways.
Quality source of journalism
Study is in the US and uses US Brands, just FYI…
Further down is the more relevant info away from the clickbait:
