Study: Tainted Seafood Permitted After BP Oil Spill
October 13/Melbourne, Australia/Herald Sun -- America's Food and Drug Administration (FDA) allowed unsafe levels of contaminants in seafood after the BP oil spill in 2010, according to a study cited by FOXNews.com.
Researchers from the Natural Resources Defence Council (NDRC) said the FDA seriously underestimated the cancer risk from contaminants that can accumulate in seafood when the agency allowed commercial fishing to resume in the Gulf of Mexico -- where the leak occurred 41 miles off the Louisiana coast -- after the disaster.
