[Food] Microplastics in tea bags

BadFish · Sep 26, 2019

I read the other day that there was plastic in tea bags but this is worrying.

Time to go back to tea leaves for new I think.

"the World Health Organization says there is no evidence of a health risk for humans."

I sidestep the issue by drinking coffee.

Unless I'm missing something, I don't use plastic tea bags...

In the meantime, Tufenkji suggests New Scientist readers avoid plastic tea bags. “Tea can be purchased in paper tea bags or as loose-leaf tea, which eliminates the need for this single-use plastic packaging.”

I didn't think I did either but apparently most contain plastic.

It used be said to include teabags in your compost. I stopped when it became obvious the bags themselves are plastic and never degraded in the compost or borders, just sitting there.

Not all teabags contain plastic.

Clipper
Teapigs
Twinings
Waitrose Duchy

PGTips are now plastic free

Another apology due from Bozza. Bad week at the office as Trump would say...
