What do PCB levels in wild and ocean-farmed salmon mean to consumers?
Fresh and frozen wild and ocean-farmed salmon contain essentially the same amount of PCBs. The levels in both are about 1/200 of the FDA tolerance and as stated by the leading public health organizations in the U.S., Canada and Europe, pose no risk to consumers. The levels currently found in wild or ocean-farmed salmon should not be used to limit consumption to any specific level.
