Sardines just tested. Wild Planet had highest arsenic. Season had the lowest.

As if I needed a reason to avoid FishWife due to their absurd prices. Not great news for Wild Planet, unfortunately. For those in the know, is this a real concern or one of those milk-carton-causes-cancer types of scenarios?

This is interesting considering the size of some of those Season pilchards. My daily driver is the CotS in olive oil so I wish they had tested that, but King Oscar has the same parent company and the fish are from the same location so it would probably test very similarly.

Are these all the same “sardines?” Same species, same ocean, same time of year caught? Is there a control (fresh sardine)?

Did they test for mercury also?

that’s a shame because season sardines taste the worst

I wonder if Wild Planet is so high because of the Pacific fishery?

Probably a problem if you live to be a hundred and twenty but I think the weed and alcohol is doing more damage than some sardines every week.
Keep eating your sardines

I don’t know how a test like this can be taken seriously when an average bottled water contains micro plastics.
The air we breathe, food we eat, water we drink…all contaminated..
So, if I’m going out… I’m going out happy..
SARDINE LOVER’S REJOICE!!!

I’ve never been a fan of Wild Planet sardines. The ones I’ve tried didn’t taste great.

The dose makes the poison. What dosage of Arsenic is harmful?

The most usual thing I have available is King Oscar, so glad to hear it’s better rather than worse.
