". – In respect of mercury the general maximum level is 0.5 mg/kg for fishery products. That remains unchanged as previously set under veterinary legislation, in particular Commission Decision 93/351. The only proposed change is that two additional species have been added to the list of fish species for the maximum level of 1 mg/kg. These are the grenadier fish and the emperor fish which are minor contributors to diet, but data showed the lower level was unachievable.
You then asked me about shellfish. The proposals will not increase the safety level of eating shellfish for either children or adults. The only proposed change for limits in shellfish as bivalve molluscs is for lead. A slight increase from 1 mg/kg to 1.5 mg/kg is proposed, because data shows that the lower level for lead is not reasonably achievable. Exposure to lead in the diet is well within safe limits. Otherwise, there is no change for provisions on cadmium or mercury."@en1
