> Astaxanthin for the color fair.

Why is it fair? Wild salmon also consume astaxanthin.

It’s like complaining that the farmers are bad for trying to mimic the fish’s natural diet.

Farmed salmon meat is pink, whereas wild salmon meat is white/greyish. A dull color.

They don’t put the coloring in the food to emulate natural food sources. They do it because it looks more appealing to most consumers.
