DARTMOUTH, Canada, July 12, 2010 - Ocean Nutrition Canada (ONC) supplier of the most trusted source of
Omega-3, EPA/DHA, food and dietary supplement ingredients, announces today
the acquisition of the exclusive global marketing and distribution rights to
GAT Food Essentials (GAT) Omega-3 microencapsulation-emulsion technology.

As a result of the agreement, ONC acquired the rights to exclusive use of
GAT's unique and patented "wowCAPS(R)" technology, in the Omega-3 space. In
addition, ONC acquired all GAT's existing, global Omega-3 customer base which
includes customers in Australia, Europe, North America, and South America.
With this acquisition, ONC strengthens its position as the world's largest
Omega-3 EPA/DHA solutions provider to the food, beverage and dietary
supplement markets.

With proven success in over 40 different applications from milk to baby
food, from cooking oil to peanut butter and from bread to cookies, no one
matches ONC's Omega 3 food applications capabilities, and GAT's
microencapsulation-emulsion technology will allow ONC to further expand its
range of applications.

The food companies currently using GAT's "wowCAPS(R)" technology for
Omega 3 will now benefit from using ONC's MEG-3(R) fish oil, the most
trusted source of Omega-3 EPA and DHA, while using the same proven
microencapsulation-emulsion technology they have been using in the past.
In addition, these companies will benefit from ONC's turn-key marketing
support and capabilities.

"We are very pleased to be bringing our technology and expertise to the
Omega-3 market leader. We believe that ONC, because of its world-wide reach
and best in class marketing, is the ideal partner to expand the adoption of
this technology by the major food companies of the world as they develop
and launch Omega-3 enriched products." said Miguel Gimeno, Co-CEO of GAT
Food Essentials.

"With GAT's microencapsulation-emulsion technology in the same portfolio
as our patented Powder-loc(TM) microencapsulation technology platform and
product line, our ability to meet customer requirements across a spectrum of
food applications and food processing conditions is unmatched in the
industry. ONC is committed to providing its customers a variety of solutions
to meet all of their Omega-3 EPA/DHA needs regardless of the application."
said Jon Getzinger, Chief Sales and Marketing Officer, ONC.
