Abstract
Microplastics (1–5000μm) and nanoplastics (<1μm) (MPs/NPs) are two emerging contaminants that have raised food security concerns due to their presence in foods worldwide. In the present article, an overview of the current knowledge regarding the presence of MPs/NPs in various foods, including seafood, vegetables, drinks, and condiments, is presented. The sources of contamination and shortcomings of the current studies were discussed, and research needs were presented.
