Omega-3 rich snacks are emerging as a go-to choice for health-conscious consumers, offering a tasty and convenient way to get essential omega-3 fatty acids. Known for supporting cardiovascular health, brain function, and reducing inflammation, these snacks often feature natural ingredients like flaxseeds, chia seeds, walnuts, and fatty fish.

They’ve found strong demand in wellness-focused regions such as North America, Western Europe, and Australia—and are increasingly popular in urban centres across Asia, where interest in functional and preventive nutrition continues to rise.

In recent years, snack manufacturers have increasingly turned to artificial fortification to boost omega-3 content in their products. This process involves adding purified omega-3 oils—typically sourced from fish, algae, or flax—into everyday snacks like granola bars, crackers, and dairy-free yogurts.
