Good question. I looked at my husbands bottle of fish oil and there was no information about this. On my prenatal vitamins (who do also have fish oil) it says that they are tested to make sure the mercury level is safe.
I did a google search and it seem like fish oil is safe also in regards to mercury. Apparently the levels of mercury is much much higher in fresh fish then it is in fish oil. If you are very concern about this though, I recommend you talk to your doctor or pharmacist and ask which brand is safe to use.
