A swordfish purchased in a Minnesota grocery store contained mercury levels more than 60 percent above what the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) considers safe, according to a major 22-state mercury-testing project. The national project, led by Oceana and the Mercury Policy Project, confirmed that store-bought swordfish and tuna contain levels of mercury that the federal government has determined may be hazardous to human health, particularly children.
