Seafood Safe

The Seafood Safe label is given to seafood companies, retailers or restaurants whose seafood contains safe consumption levels of mercury and PCBs. Businesses interested will undergo a confidential pre-assessment, which will include the development of a customized testing regime based upon the intricacies of their particular products.

Once the pre-assessment is complete and if the business chooses to continue, they will contract with Seafood Safe to display the appropriate labels on their products, and will continue an ongoing predetermined regular testing regime.
