 It is possible for conventional food with functional ingredients to be labeled or marketed as "functional foods"? For example, many fish contain the omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA, which have been granted a qualified health claim by the FDA for a reduced risk of coronary heart disease. Therefore, could the fish themselves, also be marketed as a functional food because of their inherent omega-3 content?
