In the framework of SEAFOODTOMORROW, we have optimized FishChoice, the benefit-risk communication tool designed to support consumers in making informed decisions about the fish and seafood they eat.
This tool aims to provide users with balanced information about the risks of chemical pollutants versus the benefits of a wide range of nutrients, derived from weekly consumption of fish and seafood in a personalised system. The tool is based on a previous version of FishChoice, which was created and validated within ECsafeSEAFOOD FP7. This updated version of the tool includes additional seafood species, extended nutritional information (12 nutrients), the latest EFSA recommendations, as well as the up-to-date pollutant data, and a new feature that provides users with information on the sustainability of seafood stocks.
The tool is free to use and available in 25 European languages!
