Dar seafood ppp standard

Whole and filleted finfish

For whole and filleted finfish (chilled or frozen, including fish for raw consumption) the only hazard falling into the medium relative risk ranking category was arsenic. The ranking primarily reflects the severe nature of the adverse health effects potentially caused by arsenic.

Findings of other risk assessments

Ross and Sanderson [8] and Sumner [9] did not assess the risks due to arsenic in seafoods.

ANZFA concluded [7] that the likelihood of illness due to arsenic in fish and fish products meeting the maximum level standard (2 mg/kg) was negligible.
