How much tuna and salmon are safe to eat in a week?
Tuna and salmon may contain very small amounts of mercury or PCBs, which can be harmful to fetuses and children. The Minnesota Department of Health recommends children under the age of 15, pregnant women and breastfeeding women eat no more than 1 meal a week containing canned “light” tuna or 2 meals a week containing salmon. The amount of fish you can eat in a meal depends on your body weight. Here are some guidelines. A meal is: 6 oz. for a 110-pound person 8 oz. for a 150-pound person 10 oz. for a 190-pound person See the MN Department of Health’s Fish Consumption Safe Eating Guidelines for more information.
