Risk-based consumption advice for farmed Atlantic and wild Pacific salmon contaminated with dioxins and dioxin-like compounds.

Abstract in brief

• The study shows that farmed Atlantic salmon generally contains higher levels of harmful chemicals like dioxins, PCBs, and other contaminants compared to wild Pacific salmon.
• Higher concentrations of these contaminants in farmed salmon pose greater cancer and noncancer health risks for consumers, especially with frequent consumption.
• Based on health guidelines, eating farmed salmon at low to moderate frequencies can still lead to increased exposure to these dangerous chemicals, raising potential health concerns.]
