SFA said:"Heavy metals such as mercury, lead, arsenic and cadmium are naturally present in the environment and can enter our food when the animals and plants we eat come into contact with water, soil and the seabed. "Based on levels detected, once-off consumption of the affected products is unlikely to be of food safety concern.
