[Food] Microplastics in tea bags

[BadFish]

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.
