Nutritionists encourage improving the diet by combining meat products with fish or other sea-related
foods, in order to equilibrate the omega-6/omega-3 ratio. Strong scientific evidence supports the ben-
eficial health effects of a balanced omega-6/omega-3 PUFA (poly unsaturated fatty acids) diets. In
the present work, the scientific bases of new functional meat products with both a balanced omega-6/
omega-3 ratio and a synergic combination of antioxidants are discussed. The aim is to contribute to
the dietary equilibrium omega-6/omega-3 and to increase the antioxidant intake. Conventional meat
products supplemented with a specific fatty acids and antioxidants combination led to functional
foods with healthier nutritional parameters.

Strong scientific evidence supports the ben- eficial health effects of a balanced omega-6/omega-3 PUFA (poly unsaturated fatty acids) diets. In the present work, the scientific bases of new functional meat products with both a balanced omega-6/ omega-3 ratio and a synergic combination of antioxidants are discussed. The aim is to contribute to the dietary equilibrium omega-6/omega-3 and to increase the antioxidant intake. Conventional meat products supplemented with a specific fatty acids and antioxidants combination led to functional foods with healthier nutritional parameters.
