Safety Notes

Tuna: Limit Portions

Albacore (white) tuna has moderate mercury levels. Limit to 1 serving per week for young children. Light canned tuna is a lower-mercury alternative.

Carefully check all fish for bones before serving to infants and young children. Even "boneless" fillets may contain small pin bones.
