Do I need to be worried about the mercury content of fish sticks and fast-food fish sandwiches?

What will be an ideal response?


Answer: Fish sticks and “fast-food” sandwiches are commonly made from fish that are low in mercury. Thus, you do not need to be concerned about limiting your intake of these products. If you have specific questions about the safety of any fish, you can call the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s food information line toll-free at 1-888-SAFEFOOD or visit their website at http://www.fda.gov/Food/FoodSafety/Product-SpecificInformation/Seafood/default.htm.
