Lab tests of 148 tins of canned tuna sold in the EU, conducted by environmental NGO Bloom, have revealed “unprecedented” levels of mercury. The French advocate alleges that international organizations and fisheries associations echo industry narratives that downplay the risks of mercury in tuna.However, Pesca España, a Spanish association named in Bloom’s report, tells Food Ingredients First that it is “truly reassured because our statements are not based on opinion, but are based on science and rigorous scientific studies.”
