In which foods have microplastics been found?🤔 #Microplastics are no longer just an environmental concern, they are increasingly relevant in the food chain. Higher contamination risks are often associated with: 🍤 Seafood (especially mussels and shrimp) 🐟 Fish from heavily polluted waters 💧Drinking water in reusable bottles & packaged beverages 🥡 Highly processed and packaged foods As macroplastics in the oceans (e.g. packaging waste) break down, they form microplastics. Marine organisms (especially filter feeders) absorb these particles, making seafood a key focus of analysis. However, microplastics are not limited to marine products. Studies have also detected them in: 🧂 Sea salt 🍯 Honey 🍺 Beer 🍎 Fruits and vegetables What do you think is the biggest challenge in reducing microplastics in food?
