Scientists develop new packaging that reduces mercury in canned tuna by up to 35%, enhancing seafood safety.

Researchers at Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden have created a new packaging method that can reduce mercury levels in canned tuna by up to 35%. The method uses a water-based cysteine solution, which binds to mercury in the fish, reducing its presence without altering the tuna's taste or appearance. This innovation could lead to safer seafood consumption. Further studies are needed to remove the mercury from the solution.
