NOAA has announced that it will continue re-tesing seafood from the Gulf of Mexico into the summer. According to NOAA, thousands of test results have indicated that Gulf seafood is safe from oil and dispersant contamination. 

In June 2010, NOAA, FDA and the Gulf states agreed upon an extensive sampling and testing procedure. Areas closed to fishing were reopened only when all seafood sampled in the area passed both the established sensory and chemical testing for oil and dispersants.
