alt Hacker NewsFarmed 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.

You had not seen a lot of wild salmon, apparently.
Is called salmon color for something. Sea trouts are the fishes with whitish meat normally. Both wild and cultured trouts can have "salmon" colored meat when feed on a diet rich in carotenes.
All of this looks like the typical smear campaign online when Chinese need more time to develop some product.
And then, suddenly, the plague of videos of "electric vehicles" burning on a garage vanished overnight. And now we can purchase Chinese electric vehicles.
The colour on wild salmon meat depends on the diet of the salmon, in the same way as for farmed salmon. All the wild salmon I have fished, even before salmon farming was big, have had red/pink meat since krill and shrimps are a large part of their diet in my area
