  • Your favorite foods and drinks probably have microplastics in them. Here's how to reduce the amount of plastic particles you ingest.

The article from MSN discusses the pervasive issue of microplastics in our food supply, highlighting the top 10 foods most likely to contain these tiny plastic particles.
