In a bid to promote healthy eating choices and protect public well-being, the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS) has unveiled its updated Eat Safe Fish Guides for 2023. 

The recommendations are grounded in analysis of chemical levels present in the edible portions of fish, primarily the filets. Leveraging data from the MDHHS Bureau of Laboratories, these guidelines facilitate informed decisions about long-term fish consumption.

Dr. Natasha Bagdasarian, MDHHS Chief Medical Executive, emphasized the significance of fish consumption for health, adding, “Eat Safe Fish Guides help individuals choose the fish that are best for them and their families.”

The guides address global concerns regarding chemicals in fish, notably mercury and PCBs. Additionally, substances like perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) and per, and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) have spurred guidelines specific to certain Michigan water bodies, ensuring consumer safety.
