Tuna, canned tuna and exact fish species

Fish guidance depends on the exact species, serving pattern and any local contamination advice—not only the word tuna.

Direct guidance

What to know or do

Check the species on the label and use the fish advice for where you live. Vary lower-mercury fish rather than relying on one type every day.

What changes the answer

  • Whether every ingredient is pasteurised or cooked through
  • How the food was chilled, stored, handled and reheated
  • The exact species, product label, recall or contamination warning

When to get individual help

Check the exact item or situation with a doctor, midwife, pharmacist or relevant clinician; the name of a broad category is not enough for a personal decision.
