Health notes
Mussels are a natural food source and are not typically subject to the same regulatory evaluations as food additives. They are a good source of protein, vitamins, and minerals. As with all seafood, there is a potential for contamination with environmental toxins or pathogens if not sourced and handled properly. The FDA monitors seafood safety.
Allergen info
Mussels are classified as shellfish, which is one of the 9 major allergens recognized by the FDA. Shellfish are not considered gluten-containing.
