The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) Panel
on Dietetic Products, Nutrition and Allergies has issued a Scientific
Opinion which concludes that "... consumption of about 1‑2 servings of
seafood per week and up to 3‑4 servings per week during pregnancy has
been associated with better functional outcomes of neurodevelopment in
children compared to no consumption of seafood.
Such amounts have also
been associated with a lower risk of coronary heart disease mortality in
adults and are compatible with current intakes and recommendations in
most of the European countries considered. These associations refer to
seafood per se and include beneficial and adverse effects of nutrients
and non-nutrients (i.e. including contaminants such as methylmercury)
contained in seafood.
