What it is

Farm-raised Atlantic salmon is a type of salmon raised in controlled environments, such as pens or tanks, rather than in the wild. This method allows for consistent production and quality control. The salmon are typically fed a specialized diet to ensure optimal growth and health.

Health notes

Atlantic salmon is a good source of protein, omega-3 fatty acids, and vitamin D. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) considers seafood, including salmon, to be a major food allergen. Regulatory bodies like the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) have evaluated farmed salmon, focusing on aspects like feed composition and environmental impact. Concerns sometimes arise regarding contaminants like PCBs or dioxins, though levels are generally considered safe by regulatory agencies at typical consumption levels.
