Food contact articles as source of micro- and nanoplastics: a systematic evidence map
Micro- and nanoplastics (MNPs) in foodstuffs lead to widespread human exposure and are often linked to environmental contamination. However, the role of plastics in food contact articles (FCAs) has received less attention, despite being a known source. Thus, we compiled a systematic evidence map of MNPs present in foodstuffs in contact with all types of plastic FCAs. We extracted data on experimental design, FCAs, MNPs, and food or food simulant…
A new study published on June 25 in NPJ Science of Food has revealed that everyday actions such as opening a bottle or developing packaged foods can release microplastics directly onto food.

Glass bottles containing water, soft drinks, beer or wine contain more microplastics than the equivalent in plastic bottles, according to a surprising study published by the French food safety agency. Researchers have detected these tiny pieces of plastic, mostly invisible, all over the world: from the air we breathe to the food we eat, as well as within the human body. Although there is no direct evidence that this massive presen…
