(asked on 11th July 2022) - View Source
Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask Her Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the prevalence of microplastics in food production.
This question was answered on 19th July 2022
The Food Standards Agency (FSA) is monitoring and assessing emerging information concerning microplastics in food. Based on current information, the FSA considers it is unlikely that the presence of these particles in food or drink would cause harm to consumers. However, this will be kept under review as new evidence becomes available.
