Canadian Albacore Tuna link Health_Link_BC

In British Columbia, we are in a unique position in that our Albacore Tuna fleet captures young (2-4 yrs of age) fish almost exclusively, at a unique time in their life, before they have accumulated any significant amount of background mercury.
All Albacore Tuna caught in the Pacific Northwest Coast of North America, have for many years consistently tested amongst the LOWEST in the world for mercury in Albacore Tuna!!

New Recommendations are: Albacore tuna, canned or frozen.
Children 6-24 months No limit on consumption
Children 2-12 yrs No limit on consumption
Girls and Women of Childbearing age, including pregnant and breastfeeding women No limit on consumption
Men {ages 12 and older} and Women after childbearing years No limit on consumption
