"The EC move follows the furious row last week after scientists claimed that Scottish farmed salmon was so toxic that consumers should only eat it three times a year.

Salmon sales slumped after the study - published in the respected US journal Science - said high levels of carcinogenic poly-chlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and dioxins were found in samples of Scottish farmed salmon and fish feed.

The report's health warnings were dismissed by the Food Standards Agency and retailers as inaccurate and based on poor science. The FSA insisted that Scottish salmon, including smoked salmon, is still safe to eat."

I've been shying away from Salmon for the last few years. I see it a lot in the company cafeteria and it's this overabundance of a once rare meat that has kept me away. Seems unnatural to see too much of a good thing. My intuition is vindicated again. Hope that the kids haven't been getting too much of this in school.
