Overview of Microplastics in the Meat: Occurrence, Detection Methods and Health Effects

Branko Velebit,

et al.

Abstract: The exponentially increasing annual production of plastic waste at a global level has raised concerns regarding the prospective infiltration of microplastics into terrestrial ecosystems. The transport of microplastics via wind advection and stormwater runoff presents a substantial hazard to food resources. The most recent studies reveal that chicken, pork, and beef samples are contaminated with microplastic particles, encompassing polystyrene, polyethylene terephthalate, and polypropylene. However, the employm… Show more

“…They could result from the contamination of feed ingredients and feeds with microplastics (e.g., during unpacking, or produced by the grinding and shredding processes and end up in feeds). This is supported by some recent works, which have demonstrated the presence of microplastics in feeds and meat, including pork [21][22][23].…”
