"The levels of toxins Hites found in the farmed salmon were still well below what the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), which regulates food, considers hazardous. But using more stringent guidelines from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Hites and his team recommended that people eat only 1 or 2 servings of farmed salmon a month. (Wild salmon can be eaten as often as 8 times per month, they said.)

"The EPA guidelines are developed very specifically for cancer risk," Hites said. "The FDA guidelines are based on a whole variety of other factors. They're mandated to take into account other diseases and availability in the food supply, so EPA limits are always more stringent.""
