Scope
Recommendation for consumption of farmed salmon describes a decision about whether a general recommendation should be given to restrict the consumption of European farmed salmon to one meal (227 g) per month or not (business as usual, BAU).
Definition
Data
The motivation to this decision comes from the article by Hites et al. [1] that estimated the amount of farmed salmon that would exceed the pollutant risk limit (1 in 100 000 lifetime cancer risk) set by the U.S. EPA [2]. Based on this criteria, Hites concluded that farmed salmon should not be eaten more than one meal (8 oz or 227 g) per month.
