California Bans Anchovy and Sardine Due to Toxic Algae | San Jose News

California’s Monterey Bay just got a serious seafood warning: anchovies and sardines are now banned from sale or consumption due to dangerous domoic acid from toxic algae blooms. The toxin, linked to neurological damage and even death in humans, was found in high levels in these fish — and tragically, it’s already killed two young humpback whales. While the ban targets only these two species, other fish like salmon and halibut remain safe to eat. Public health officials are acting fast to protect both people and wildlife from this invisible but deadly threat.
