Answers:
Albacore is a tuna!. Fish generally eat other fish, so the larger the fish, the better chance it has mercury from the fish it ate!. Mercury is a poisonous metal that get absorbed directly (even from touch) into the body and is known for causing brain damage in children!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
It's not a brand but a type of tuna!. About mercury in this kind of fish:
"Like other fish, albacore bio-accumulate mercury over time, and some groups have urged testing and recall of older canned albacore that may have high mercury levels!. Albacore caught with long-line fishing gear are older fish and have accumulated more mercury than younger, pole and line or troll-caught albacore"!.
FDA recommends to limit albacore white tuna to one meal per week as it is higher in mercury!.
