Last updated: April 2026 dataSalmon prepared or preserved in whole or piece form — including canned salmon, smoked salmon, and salmon in oil or brine — is classified here when the fish is not minced, a processing distinction that separates fillets and steaks in sauce from salmon pastes and pâtés. FDA regulates imported prepared seafood under both the Seafood HACCP rule and, for low-acid canned products, the thermally processed low-acid foods in hermetically sealed containers (LACF) regulation, which requires foreign processors to register their scheduled processes with FDA. Smoked salmon additionally triggers labeling requirements around listeria risk disclosure in some distribution channels.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Foreign processors of canned salmon must register their scheduled thermal processes with FDA under the Low-Acid Canned Food (LACF) regulation before exporting to the US. Each retort process and container type must be filed, and FDA can refuse entry to canned salmon from unregistered establishments. This requirement is separate from and in addition to the general seafood HACCP importer verification obligation.
The 'not minced' condition means the salmon must retain identifiable piece structure — whole fish, fillets, steaks, or chunks — rather than being mechanically separated or ground into a paste or emulsion. Salmon pâté, salmon spread, or mechanically deboned salmon would fall outside this heading. When a product contains both piece-form and minced salmon (as in some salmon loaf products), the predominant form and the degree of processing determine the correct classification.
