Moldy Chum: please, out of respect for wild salmonids, don't glorify corporations like John West with ties to fish farming. (see below)

2) The vast majority of fresh and smoked salmon sold in supermarkets is farmed

Think twice before buying fresh farmed salmon this Christmas. Smoked farmed salmon, for example, has been found to be contaminated with listeria (http://209.58.136.120/recall/f/00/craigsal.htm). The list of other ‘hidden extras’ such as artificial colourings (E161g) and chemical contaminants is an alarming one. The customer may be getting more than they bargained for when falling for BOGOF (Buy One Get One Free) special offers on ‘fresh’ and smoked salmon this Christmas. Consumer perception that most fresh and smoked salmon is wild is a myth ruthlessly exploited by supermarkets intent on profiting from public ignorance. 99% of fresh salmon and smoked salmon sold in supermarkets is factory farmed – for canned salmon the opposite is true: 99% of canned salmon is wild (although this is changing as more farmed salmon finds its way into cans). Sainsbury’s and M&S occasionally sell fresh wild Alaskan salmon but even John West salmon, traditionally wild salmon sold in cans, is now sold fresh but this is farmed Scottish salmon not wild salmon. Farmed salmon is also being off-loaded into cans with John West salmon fillets from Norway and Princes red salmon from Chile both of farmed origin. Glenryck’s red salmon, for example, “from the crystal clear waters of the South Pacific Ocean” certainly implies it is wild but the only wild Atlantic salmon populations in Chile are farmed escapees. The giveaway on the label is under nutritional information where there is 12.7% fat (see point 4). Always read the label carefully (unfortunately the labelling of salmon products is often unclear – see point 5).

12) Are all salmon sold in supermarkets from fish farms?

99% of all salmon sold in supermarkets is farmed. Sometimes it is labelled as coming from "the cool clear waters of Scotland". This in fact means that the fish has come from one of Scotland’s 350 factory salmon farms. The opposite is the case for canned salmon, 99% of which is wild. However, some supermarkets, including Safeways, now sell canned farmed salmon. To confuse things further John West, a world leader in wild canned salmon, has started selling canned Scottish salmon that is not labelled as being farmed.
