French food NGO Bloom has published a report revealing mercury contamination in canned tuna sold across Europe.
Titled Toxic Tuna, the 66-page report published on October 29 accused the European Union of allowing hazardous levels of mercury in tinned tuna to flood the market, all while feigning concern for public health, it said.
“There’s no standardised method for measuring mercury levels in tuna, nor any consideration of the health implications for adults and children,” the report stated.
