PCB's in Fish Oil Capsules?

Anyone hear anything about this? Some fish oil capsules have been found to be contiminated with PCB, a chemical known to cause cancer. Chemical companies have been polluting certain bodies of water with this nasty chemical and in turn the fish absorb it into their bodies - hence the presence of the chemical in the fish oil.

It's pretty disturbing. The ones I am taking are GNC 3x strength fish oil enteric capsules. I have since stopped taking them because I am worried about possible PCB contamination. I'm not here to make anyone paranoid but PCB's are a pretty serious toxin.
