Carp from this river contain dioxin, a chemical that may cause cancer in humans. Meat and dairy products also contain dioxin. At this time, MDH does
not provide meal advice based on dioxin in fish. You can reduce your exposure to dioxin by choosing to eat a different species and following the
consumption guidelines for that species.
