Foods high in Omega-6

The FDA does not set a Daily Value for omega-6, though food labels in Canada must declare it. The difference reflects uncertainty: omega-6 supports cell growth and skin repair, but no agreed intake target exists. The panel has not established how much you need.

Omega-6 lives in seed oils, nuts, and poultry skin. This ranking cannot tell you whether the foods here are good sources for your needs, since those needs remain unmapped by regulators. Use the figures to compare foods directly, not to meet a standard.
