A new research article led by the Food Packaging Forum, a Swiss-based science communication organization, has analyzed evidence showing that food packaging is a significant source of micro- and nanoplastics (MNPs) in food. The research highlights that everyday and intended use of food packaging and food contact articles (FCAs) can contribute to the presence of MNPs in food. For example, opening a plastic bottle or chopping food on a plastic cutting board can contaminate food products.
