Good Morning Listers.
Recently there was an article in the San Francisco Chronicle (Sat. Jan.
18, 2003)
where (I'm quoting) "State Attorney General Bill Lockyer is suing five
grocery chains that operate in California, seeking to make them post
warning labels on packages of swordfish, shark and fresh tuna that
contain mercury."
It goes on and names stores and the Prop. 65 a1986 voter-approved
initiative that requires businesses to notify customers if they are
being exposed to toxic chemicals.
I'm not sure if its ok to talk about this on listserve. We are a small
business supplying some stores in northern California with frozen
albacore loins smoked albacore, frozen ahi and smoked ahi named in this
article. Some of the stores have pulled these products from their
market for now until there is further information.
1.Does anyone know where I can find anyfurther info on this topic and,
2.Can anyone tell me if there is a data base or where I can find out how
much mercury is in my products- do I need to have testing done?
Thank you in advanced
