The Seafood Health Facts website was recently updated to included a link to customizing seafood consumption information and also to provide guidance to a broader range of consumers.
The Seafood Health Facts site includes current information on seafood nutrition/health, safety and market topics. It will help answer many commonly asked seafood safety questions that consumers and patients often ask health care providers and retailers.
Bookmark this great new resource! It is a handy tool to help you become seafood savvy. Check it out at seafoodhealthfacts.org.
The project was partially funded through a grant from the National Integrated Food Safety Initiative of the National Institute of Food and Agriculture, U.S., Department of Agriculture.
