Salmon can be accumulators of plastics and heavy metals. It is not as simple was labeling things as healthy or not healthy.

And there's the wild vs farmed issue. And then it matters which waters they're in, and feed their given etc.
Salmon is healthy and it is that simple. You’re bringing up unproductive questions that could go on forever about any food. If that’s the goal, we don’t need the bureaucracy. It’s the same outcome as shutting down this part of the agency, since they aren’t going to declare anything until decades after the world already moved on from their broken guidance and figured out that salmon or whatever else is healthy. No one serious questions that salmon is healthy, obviously. So let’s at least save the money.
Disagree that these are unproductive questions.

For tuna it's recommended you don't eat it frequently becasue of high mercury levels.

Why would not consider that for things like salmon?
