Which are the foods that contain plastic?
We all know that not everything we eat is healthy. However, acknowledging that food is packed with salt or sugar and finding out that certain foods you buy contain plastic are two completely different things.
In fact, you may be surprised to learn that you can’t actually rely on the ingredients listed on the food packages, as many contain harmful ingredients like microplastics. Yes, that’s correct; we’re all eating foods that contain plastic.
Our day-to-day lifestyle is taking a toll on the environment, especially our world’s water supplies. What most people don’t know is that this is feeding back into the food chain.
By sharing this knowledge, we can all make choices to slash the amount of plastic we eat and try to change things for the better.
While there’s limited research as to how foods that contain plastic are affecting us, it’s highly unlikely to be good news. In fact, limited lab results have discovered that ingesting plastic has some negative impact on health.
This being said, let’s see some of the foods that contain plastic!

Microplastics are everywhere. Reducing our daily consumption is likely futile, you will ingest microplastics. Every breath you take, every bite of food, and everything you drink has microplastics. Your reusable plastic water bottle sheds microplastics. That said, plastics are a vital part of our modern life. There are no alternatives right now. Without plastics healthcare would be very different. Single use disposable everything provides the best barrier to pathogens. Just try to live a day in our world without plastics.
I’ve read recently that close to 90% of cans are no longer lined with BPA. Of course other plastic-related products are used.
Also, not all filters will remove microplastics.
This is one of the most ignorant articles I’ve read in some time. Mastery of buzzwords without ANY actual knowledge is a sad and dangerous thing.
What good is it to show how dangerous and truly unhealthy are food products are if low income and average income status people cannot afford the alternative, which is of course organic and whole foods which are beyond our pay grades??? PLEASE RESPOND!
