Page snapshot
Corpus sources85

Overview

Step 0 scope-locked row for HMTc Taxonomy v2.0 Category 6 (Seafood), Row 6. The row scope is locked (variant_type: whole_row_platform, platform_metals Sn). Lock authority: docs/governance/category-6-step0-lock.md.

This row carries the tin flag for Sn migration from the can, and inherits the fish-row mercury concern for its contents. Speciation (MeHg vs tHg) is non-substitutable.

Literature scope

Routable destination for source pages declaring products: [canned-seafood] and the fan-out target for broad canned-fish declarations. HMTc thresholds for this row are developed under the certification program at heavymetaltested.com.

Methodology

Reports what cited sources say about heavy-metal concentrations in this row. Speciation non-substitutable. Basis preserved.

Literature Evidence Summary

Literature Evidence Summary

The table below summarizes what the peer-reviewed and government literature cited on this page reports for heavy-metal concentrations in Canned seafood (with tin flag). Values are pulled directly from cited sources without re-aggregation. This page publishes literature evidence only, not certification thresholds.

Methodology rules for speciation, basis preservation, non-detect handling, and source pooling are stated in the Methodology section above and apply to every row below.
