Tag: Safe tuna intake

According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), most adults should eat two to three servings of fish per week, including canned tuna, as part of a healthy diet. So, how many cans of tuna are recommended per week to balance the benefits of omega-3s with concerns about mercury levels? The answer depends largely on the type of tuna you choose.

According to a 2022 survey, about one-third of Americans eat canned tuna two or more times per month. Understanding how much canned tuna is safe to eat per month is crucial due to varying mercury levels and individual health factors, particularly regarding mercury exposure.
