The Fire Retardant Found in the Seafood Chain
Original: The fire retardant in the seafood chain
A report examines ethoxyquin, a chemical originally developed as a fire retardant and pesticide that has long been used as a preservative in fish feed, meaning residues can end up in farmed seafood eaten worldwide. The piece looks at how the compound entered the food chain and the state of regulation, as US authorities have yet to set residue limits for it in seafood despite scrutiny abroad.
Why now: New reporting is drawing attention to a little-known contaminant in farmed fish and the regulatory gap around it
