Urge the FDA to protect the public from mercury in fish

Join GotMercury.org in calling on food safety officials to require posting of mercury warnings wherever fish is sold and to cut by half the current 30-year-old mercury limits to better protect the health of women, children and anyone who eats tuna, swordfish and other seafood.

The primary source of mercury exposure in humans is through the consumption of fish. Scientific studies have shown that mercury ingestion can lead to memory loss, developmental and learning disorders, vision loss, heart disease and, in extreme cases, can result in death.

Food safety officials should do more to make our food safer.

Dear Food and Drug Administration Commissioner Margaret Hamburg,

We the undersigned strongly urge the FDA to mandate mercury-in-fish warning signs at all supermarkets and restaurants where mercury-laden fish is sold. We also urge the FDA to improve food safety and slash obsolete mercury limits for commercial fish in half to match that of recreational fish. Lastly, canned light tuna must be categorized as a high mercury-laden fish. Thank you for your consideration.

Sincerely,

Optional Member Code
