I bought these at Trader Joe's. For frozen pizza, they are OK.

A new study has found that the overwhelming majority of protein foods such as meat and fish are contaminated with microplastics. The comprehensive study, conducted by researchers at the nonprofit Ocean Conservancy, found that approximately 88% of protein samples tested contained microplastic particles. "Highly processed products contained the most microplastics per gram," the study said in its findings.

Microscopic pieces of plastic are everywhere. Now, they've been found in bottled water in concentrations 10 to 100 times more than previously estimated.
Researchers from Columbia University and Rutgers University found roughly 240,000 detectable plastic fragments in a typical liter of bottled water. The study was published Monday in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. About 10% of the detected plastic particles were microplastics, and the other 90% were nanoplastics. Microplastics are between 5 millimeters to 1 micrometer; nanoplastics are particles less than 1 micrometer in size. For context, a human hair is about 70 micrometers thick. Microplastics have already been found in people's lungs, their excrement, their blood and in placentas, among other places.

We tried Panda Express Chinese food chain store tonight. Had the 1 side and 3 entree plate with fried rice side, and entrees of teriyaki sliced chicken, orange chicken, and broccoli with a chicken egg roll. Place was more of a Chick-fil-A type place with booths to sit in. Food was fine and prices were reasonable at under $12.00 for all of that. Only complaint was food could have been hotter temperature wise.
