The VBites product was launched recently, with the website explaining that, “most people think Omega-3 Oil comes from fish. But the truth is it comes from the algae that fish eat. Omega-3 oil from fish is no longer sustainable. Overfishing and fish-farming have a seriously detrimental effect on the marine environment. And, on top of that, research has shown that the vast majority of fish caught now contain industrial toxins and pollutants.”

The company, which produces a range of fish alternatives, has perfected a technique that harvests nutrient-rich (plant-based) algae to create a healthier, marine-friendly product. The unique process uses biomass grown under controlled manufacturing conditions and naturally occurring micro-organisms instead of fish or other animals.
