Are you sure you have the correct research? The following statement is from
the Eggland's Best press release that I posted here:

"The feed contains only healthy grains, canola oil and BioteneT, a unique
all natural supplement which includes rice bran, alfalfa meal, kelp and
vitamin E."

I don't see anything there about fish oils or flax seed.

I bought a carton of Eggland's Best eggs. They look, taste and smell normal
to me.
