I watched the video of this.... yesterday off Yahoo.

Did you see the one I saw? I noticed that all 3 that tested positive were cod liver oil types.

The types from fish livers, have a generally higher risk than the fish body oils, because the livers concentrate any contaminants.

Also it was California who did the testing, and they are typically a bit weird and over zealous about about everything.

Eating Tuna today is probably more dangerous than fish oil.
We'll have to wait and see what develops.

I just checked my fish oil (From Puritan's Pride).
Ingredients are: Anchovy,mackerel,sardines

So I gather we'll live if we take these supplements? lol
Oh, I just posted a question about QUORN, over in Food Court
