About ATLANTIC SALMON
Simply Balanced Atlantic Salmon is a frozen fish product sold under Target Stores' Simply Balanced private-label brand, which was Target's line positioned around natural and minimally processed foods. The product is categorized in the frozen fish and seafood segment and consists of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) with added color.
The ingredient list contains two items: salmon (Salmo salar, the scientific species name for Atlantic salmon) and color added. Salmo salar is the species of salmon widely used in commercial aquaculture, primarily farm-raised in Atlantic and Pacific growing regions. The notation of added color (without specifying the colorant) indicates an approved food color has been added, which is common in farmed Atlantic salmon where the natural pink-red hue from astaxanthin must be supplemented or standardized. The product contains no added salt, preservatives, coatings, marinades, or processing agents beyond the colorant. This is a very clean ingredient profile for a commercial frozen fish product. The product is free of all common food allergens except fish (salmon itself is the primary ingredient and constitutes a major allergen category).
Per 100 grams, this Atlantic salmon provides 212 calories, 20.35 g protein, 0 g carbohydrates, and 13.27 g fat, with no dietary fiber. The calorie density is moderate for a fish product, reflecting the characteristic higher fat content of Atlantic salmon compared to leaner white fish species. Protein at 20.35 g per 100 g is high. Atlantic salmon is a natural source of omega-3 fatty acids (EPA and DHA). The product is naturally gluten-free, dairy-free, and suitable for low-carbohydrate diets.
