Concern Over Mercury Levels In Canned Tuna - France

Cans of tuna are seen in a supermarket aisle on November 2, 2024 in France. Concerns have been raised over the levels of mercury in canned tuna products in France following a report by two consumer watchdog organisations. Bloom and Foodwatch said they carried out tests in independent laboratories on 148 cans of tuna across multiple brand types, which came from France, Spain, Italy, Germany, and the UK, and all were found to have traces of mercury, some of them significantly. Over 50 % of the tins had mercury levels above the thresholds given for fresh fish such as sardines, and one in ten had mercury levels above the legal limits on fresh tuna.
