One from a while ago I missed at the time:

Busness Insider: The FDA Thinks It's Totally Cool For Us To Eat Seafood 10,000 Times Over The Contamination Limit

Excerpt: "A new study has concluded that the FDA severely underrated the risk of contaminants in seafood following the BP oil spill of 2010, according to Environmental Health Perspectives (via Alternet).

The report, conducted by non-governmental scientists, says that 53 percent of Gulf shrimp samples tested revealed "levels above concern" of carcinogenic polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs).

Some cases showed carcinogenic levels up to 10,000 times more than what is considered safe."
