Who monitors the levels of methylmercury in our food supply?

In the United States, the responsibility for regulating mercury is shared by two federal agencies: the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The FDA regulates commercially sold fish and seafood and provides consumption advice for consumers, while the EPA regulates the amount of mercury released into the environment. The EPA additionally works with state governments to develop fresh water fish advisories.
