6. Fish and seafood

The oceans are some of the areas that are most affected by pollution and microplastics. Sometimes the plastic is very noticeable, with plastic bags, straws, and bottles either floating or even suffocating ocean wildlife. But there’s also the microscopic plastic, which is invisible to the naked eye.

Therefore, it’s no surprise that fish and seafood are also included in the list of foods that contain plastic.

In fact, this plastic has been found in just about every ocean creature, from fish to seafood. Fish have been discovered to mistake plastic for food, so they accidentally eat it.

Although you don’t ingest most of the plastic particles found in fish, as the gut and stomach of fish aren’t eaten, there are still traces throughout the whole sea creature. So, yes, fish makes the list of foods that contain plastic.
