French brand tops mercury contamination in Europes tuna
Credit: Reuters / Tony Gentile		 Tests carried out by NGOs Bloom and Foodwatch showed all 148 cans tested positive for mercury contamination. The samples were bought in France, Germany, England, Spain and Italy.

Mercury is "one of the 10 substances of greatest concern in the world, like asbestos or arsenic," said the organisations. Its derivative, methylmercury, is classified as a "possible carcinogen" by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC).
 

More than half the tested cans contained mercury levels higher than those permitted for other fish species.

While mercury content in fish like pollack or cod must not exceed 0.3 mg/kg, the limit for tuna is set at 1 mg/kg
