Sprattus Sprattus Or Clupea Harengus

Sprattus sprattus and Clupea harengus are small, oily fish commonly known as sardines and herring, respectively. They are found in the Atlantic and Baltic Seas. These fish are typically canned whole, often with added oil, sauce, or seasonings.

These fish are primarily used as a source of protein and healthy fats in canned seafood products. They are valued for their savory, fishy flavor and are often packed in oil, water, or sauces like lemon or tomato to enhance taste and preservation.

Sardines and herring are a good source of omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin D, and calcium (especially if bones are consumed). The FDA has not established specific regulations for these fish as food additives, as they are whole foods. They are generally considered safe and nutritious when consumed as part of a balanced diet. No specific ADI or upper limits have been set by international bodies like JECFA or EFSA for these fish themselves.
