“Parmalat is leading the way in developing
innovative dairy products for Canadians,”
says Cheryl Smith, Vice President of Marketing,
Parmalat Canada. “Recognizing the
need for Canadians to increase the amount
of omega-3 in their diets, Parmalat has
created a line of Omega 3 products that
make it easy for them to make healthier
choices with great tasting foods they already
enjoy as part of their diets.”
The Omega 3 Power Breakfast
is served
To enjoy the health benefits of omega-3,
scientific studies suggest a minimum intake
of 1200 mg or 1.2 g* per day. Studies indicate
that most Canadians are not even meeting
basic nutrition requirements.**
Here’s how you can reach your omega-3
target at the breakfast table during the
first meal of the day:
- One serving of Black Diamond DHA Omega
3 Natural Cheese
- One serving of Lactantia Healthy Attitude
Omega 3 Margarine on toast
- One serving of Beatrice Omega 3 Milk
Beverage
- One serving of ASTRO BioBest Omega
3 Yogourt
Choose your favourites — any combination
of the above equalling 1200 mg meets your
full suggested daily intake of omega-3.
Canadians can easily make the first decision
of the day the right decision with a simple
switch from their breakfast favourites to
omega-3 better-for-you products. The easiest
way to ensure you have your suggested daily
omega-3 requirement is with the first meal
of the day – a healthy, tasty and
convenient breakfast.

About The Survey
These are the findings
of an Ipsos-Reid/Parmalat poll conducted
from January 11th to January 13th, 2004.
For the survey, a representative randomly
selected sample of 1000 adult Canadians
was interviewed by telephone. With a sample
of this size, the results are considered
accurate to within ±3.1 percentage
points, 19 times out of 20, of what they
would have been had the entire adult Canadian
population been polled. The margin of error
will be larger within regions and for other
sub-groupings of the survey population.
These data were weighted to ensure the sample's
regional and age/sex composition reflects
that of the actual Canadian population according
to the 2001 Census data. Please visit www.ipsos.ca
for full tabular results.
