ICAR-CMFRI Advises Tuna from Indian Waters Safe Despite Parasite Reports in Brazil
The Indian Council of Agricultural Research-Central Marine Fisheries Research Institute (ICAR-CMFRI) has advised consumers that tuna and other commercially available fish caught in Indian waters are safe to eat despite reports of parasitic infections in skipjack tuna from Brazil. The institute emphasized that parasite prevalence varies by region and ecological conditions, and findings from Brazil should not be generalized to Indian fish. Proper cleaning and thorough cooking, common in India, effectively reduce any food-safety risks associated with parasites.
