The problem is that avoiding microplastics in food is really hard. Lots of food that is not packaged in plastic is full of microplastics. These are leaking into food during processing or from the environment. Car tires are full of plastic and continuously shedding it. For example, lots of plant roots have been shown to uptake microplastics from soil.

IMHO, EPA and EU environmental agencies should mandate testing microplastic levels in food. Otherwise, we are blind. Alternatively, some independent organization should come up with a microplastic level test and award badges.
