“…Microplastics have also been detected in different species of dried fish products. Kutralam-Muniasamy et al 2023 [51] discovered that two commercially important Chirostoma species (C. jordani and C. patzcuaro) in Mexico contained a varying range from 4.00 ± 0.94 to 55.33 ± 9.43 particles g −1 . Rukmangada et al 2023 [52] detected 99 ± 18.91 MPs g −1 from a sample of Anguilla bengalensis [52].…”

In recent years, human populations’ exposure to microplastics via foods is becoming a topic of concern. Although microplastics have been defined as “emerging contaminants”, their occurrence in the environment and food is quite dated. This systematic review aims to investigate the discrepancies which are characterizing the research in the microplastics field in foods, with particular regard to sample preparations, microplastics’ concentrations and their effect on humans. For the selection of papers, the PRISMA methodology was followed. Discrepancies in the methodological approaches emerged and in the expression of the results as well, underlying the urgency in the harmonization of the methodological approaches. Uncertainties are still present regarding the adverse effects of microplastics on the human body. The scientific evidence obtained thus far is, in fact, not sufficient to demonstrate a concrete negative effect. This review has clearly underlined the need to standardise laboratory approaches to obtain useful results for better food safety management.
