STUDY | MICROPLASTICS: THE SECRET INGREDIENT IN YOUR SEAFOOD

Next time your shrimp cocktail crunches, don’t blame the shell.

A study found 99% of seafood samples—like pink shrimp, herring, and salmon—are packed with microplastics, tiny bits of plastic linked to cancer and other health risks.

Pink shrimp topped the “plastic buffet,” likely thanks to filter-feeding in polluted waters.

But hey, it’s not just seafood—plastics are also lurking in bottled water, tea, honey, and even your veggie burger.

Scientists aren’t saying to ditch seafood.

Why?

Because microplastics are everywhere.

Bon appétit!
