What it is

Brisling sardines are small, oily fish, typically less than 6 inches long, found in the North Atlantic and North Pacific oceans. They are often lightly smoked to enhance their flavor and are commonly sold canned in oil or sauce.

Why it's used

International bodies like the Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) and the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) have evaluated sardines and related compounds, generally finding them safe for consumption within typical dietary levels. Concerns about mercury levels in fish are generally lower for smaller, shorter-lived fish like sardines compared to larger predatory fish.
