We have to see what kind of response we get and how much time it requires. Remember, these tested fish will be kept segregated as they go through the processing system. Each will be assigned a number so that they can be tracked. All of that does add to the cost.

We look at this as something similar to our organics program. Customers asked for more organic foods because they were concerned about the environment and contaminants in their diets. Mercury testing will allow them to take that concern a step further.

Our customers know it's out there and they are concerned. Now we have a way of addressing it and offering information to help them make informed decisions. They will have confidence that the fish they purchase has been certified by Safe Harbor and it contains mercury levels below what the government has determined to be acceptable.

Consumers can go to the Safe Harbor Web site (www.safeharborfoods.com) and look for the exact amounts allowed by the government.
