Tinned tuna sold in several European countries, including the UK, France, Italy, Spain, and Germany, has been found to be contaminated with dangerous levels of mercury, according to multiple NGOs. Experts have warned that almost all of the 150 cans of tuna tested in these countries contained the toxic metal, posing a significant risk to public health and being linked to cancer. The contamination has led to urgent warnings and the removal of several products from supermarket shelves over health concerns.
