34 fjords on risk list

State health authorities have identified 34 fjords along the Norwegian coast that have had pollution levels high enough to make their fish and shellfish potentially dangerous for human consumption.

Most of the fjords lie innermost in bigger fjords and near industrial areas that have churned out some pollutants over the years. That in turn means that fish and shellfish from them may contain high levels of mercury.

Stores pull illegal tuna

Discount giant Smart Club, and grocery chains ICA and Rimi have now withdrawn illegal tuna that could make consumers extremely ill.

A consumer watchdog television program (Consumer Inspectors) revealed that laboratory tests had confirmed the sale of illegal fish.

The tuna was artificially colored using carbon dioxide gas, a technique banned in the European Union market and Norway, because the method can disguise old or poor quality fish - the fish can be thawed and refrozen repeatedly without losing its color.
