Across Brazil, a toxic secret is being served.
Shark meat contaminated with high levels of heavy metals is ending up in schools, hospitals, and even prisons — quietly putting millions at risk.
In this Mongabay investigation, journalists Karla Mendes and Philip Jacobson uncover how shark meat — long known to carry toxic mercury — slipped into Brazil’s public food supply with almost no oversight. Their reporting exposes major gaps in food safety and government transparency, revealing a hidden public-health crisis affecting the country’s most vulnerable populations: children, pregnant women, and low-income communities.
