Are sardines a good source of Omega-3? Does the canning process affect content?

Sardines are generally a good source of Omega-3s. The canning process does not adversely affect levels. The processing is carried out under oxygen-free conditions and so no significant damage occurs. Similarly with the oil in capsules - as long as oxygen is kept away, damage is negligible. Visit the Fish Foundation website for more detail on www.fish.foundation.org.uk.
