A new study finds that the overwhelming majority of protein foods such as meat and fish are contaminated with microplastics.
The comprehensive study, conducted by researchers at the nonprofit Ocean Conservancy, found that approximately 88% of protein samples tested contained microplastic particles.
“Highly processed products contained the most microplastics per gram,” the study said in its findings. “Microplastic contamination did not differ between brands or store types.”
