IF YOU HAD MAILED MERCURY SCARE Mrs. Flora Bardwell, USU Extension Nutrition Specialist, sent us in Morgan County her most recent findings on the mercury scare recently in the news concerning fish. This should help clarify the confusion brought about from this publicity. Extension testing assures us thwt a large variety of wholesome fish and seafood products, so essential to the overall diet and so pleasing to millions of consumers, will remain avail-aion the market. The current publicity centered first im tuna and then on swordfish. Much Information and misinformation has been released and has resulted in confusion. However, officials of the Food and Drug Administration have assured the public that there Is no Immediate health hazard involved in eating either of these products. The detainment of fish with mercury content above established FDA guideline levels, is a precautionary measure. The processing industry Is cooperating felly with FDA to insure that only swordfish below the prescribed level is brought to the market. As for other species of fish, tests made on shrimp, cod, lobster, salmon, halibut and scal de claims David MacLeod, general manager for Ameren.
