How much mercury is safe to eat?

This question is impacted by many factors (age, weight, pregnancy) unique to you, so we encourage you to talk to your trusted health professional.

Mercury is naturally occurring in the water and soil. Trace amounts occur naturally in all types of seafood and many other foods. The human body naturally processes mercury over time. The key is not to get exposed to high levels of mercury causing the body to accumulate mercury faster than the body can process it.

Due to increasing man-made pollution, mercury levels can vary widely even between individual fish of the same species, size and location. There is still plenty of really pure tuna in the sea. But, the only way to know the mercury level of a single fish is to test it. That’s why we invented technology to test every single tuna to strict mercury limits, and Safe Catch is the only brand that does.

We launched Safe Catch tuna because we want pregnant women, kids, and everyone to feel great eating tuna.
