What People are Saying

"By implementing MASI's testing system, Haggen Food & Pharmacy and TOP Food & Drug stores have been able to assure customers that our Safe Harbor-certified seafood goes far beyond FDA requirements in testing for mercury levels.

"When it comes to highly migratory fish species, there is no way to know how much mercury is in them unless they've been tested specifically for mercury. It's important to show our guests and retail customers that we care by offering high quality seafood whether they're dining at our restaurants or purchasing fish at the counter. For us, Safe Harbor offers the validation consumers are looking for when it comes to safe fish."
