Our canned Albacore tuna is free of radiation

Due to concerns about radiation in seafood after the Japanese nuclear disaster, we sent several samples of our canned albacore tuna to be tested by an independent laboratory for radiation. The results show that any level present is lower than their instrument can detect. The method used was FDA WEAC.RN.Method3, and Gamma Spectrometer.
