Does Yellowfin Tuna Have To Be Fully Cooked?
It is recommended to fully cook yellowfin tuna to eliminate the risk of foodborne illnesses, such as mercury poisoning and parasites. However, some people prefer to consume it raw as in sushi or sashimi. If consumed raw, it should be from a reputable source and stored and handled properly to reduce the risk of contamination. Additionally, pregnant women, young children, and those with weakened immune systems should avoid consuming raw or undercooked tuna.
