Canned tuna from China raises concerns similar to those linked with their canned peaches—lead contamination. But the issues go deeper than just heavy metals. Farming practices often involve overcrowded tanks and poor water conditions.

The use of growth hormones and antibiotics is also widespread. Some reports even cite animal waste being used in fish feed. These shortcuts may increase production, but they lower the quality and safety of the final product.
