Summary

This Norwegian scientific committee report assessed microplastic occurrence and health implications in food, reviewing evidence on exposure through seafood, drinking water, table salt, and other dietary sources. The committee found that while microplastics are widely present, the health risk from current food exposure levels remains uncertain due to insufficient data.
