What it is
Wild pink salmon (Oncorhynchus gorbuscha) is a species of ray-finned fish native to the Pacific Ocean. It is one of the most abundant salmon species. It is typically caught wild and can be sold fresh, frozen, or canned.
Why it's used

Health notes
Pink salmon is recognized as a nutritious food. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has not established specific regulations for wild salmon beyond general food safety standards. International bodies like the Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) and the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) have evaluated fish and fish oils, generally finding them safe for consumption. Concerns about mercury levels in fish are typically addressed by dietary guidelines, which recommend consuming a variety of fish.
Allergen info
Salmon is classified as a major allergen by the FDA. Individuals with a fish allergy should avoid consuming salmon.
