Sumario:Although seafood consumption is recommended as part of a healthy diet, several marine biotoxins are present in seafood, which are associated with adverse health effects such as gastrointestinal and neurological symptoms and, therefore, pose unique food safety concerns.

In this editorial, several measures are recommended that should be taken to ensure consumer seafood safety.
