What it is
Pollock oil is a fish oil derived from pollock, a type of white fish. It is typically extracted from the flesh and byproducts of pollock and can be refined for various uses.
Why it's used
Pollock oil is used as a source of omega-3 fatty acids, particularly EPA and DHA, which are beneficial fatty acids. It is often added to foods like imitation crab meat to enhance the nutritional profile and sometimes to improve texture or mouthfeel.
Health notes
Pollock oil is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. It is a source of omega-3 fatty acids, which are important for heart and brain health. JECFA has evaluated fish oils and set acceptable daily intakes. Evidence suggests omega-3s may support cardiovascular health, but research is ongoing.
Allergen info
Pollock oil is derived from fish, which is one of the 9 FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
