ATHENS, GREECE - JULY 15: Microplastic particles have settled on a membrane after filtration in the laboratory of the Hellenic Centre for Marine Research on July 15, 2025 in Anavissos near Athens, Greece.

A new study has found that the overwhelming majority of protein foods such as meat and fish are contaminated with microplastics. Among the tested samples, approximately 44% of the microplastics found were in the form of fibres. An additional third of the particles were in the form of plastic fragments.
