FDA and EPA issue final fish consumption advice
FDA and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency issued final advice regarding fish consumption. This advice is geared toward helping women who are pregnant or may become pregnant – as well as breastfeeding mothers and parents of young children – make informed choices when it comes to fish that are healthy and safe to eat. (This advice refers to fish and shellfish collectively as “fish.”) To help these consumers more easily understand the types of fish to select, the agencies have created an easy-to-use reference chart that sorts 62 types of fish into three categories:
- “Best choices” (eat two to three servings a week)
- “Good choices” (eat one serving a week)
- “Fish to avoid”
Fish in the “best choices” category make up nearly 90 percent of fish eaten in the United States. More information
