Minced Pollock

Minced pollock is a type of white fish, often from the cod family, that is processed into smaller pieces. It is typically sourced from cold, deep waters in the North Atlantic and North Pacific. The fish is cleaned, deboned, and then minced or flaked.

Manufacturers use minced pollock as a protein source and to create a flaky texture in processed seafood products. It is commonly found in fish sticks, fish cakes, and imitation crab meat.

Pollock is a source of protein and omega-3 fatty acids. The FDA has not established specific regulations for minced pollock beyond general food safety standards. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated fish and fish products, but specific evaluations for minced pollock are not widely published. At typical consumption levels, it is considered safe.
