Literature review highlights microplastics release in food contact materials, suggesting methodological gaps in exposure assessment.

Microplastics are confirmed to be released during the use of food contact materials, yet actual levels appear much lower than reported.
Contaminations during experiments mainly stem from fundamental test conditions and sample preparation issues.
Sources of release include mechanical stress, such as abrasion and friction, indicating physical interactions are significant.
Future studies should address the identified methodological shortcomings for better estimation of microplastics exposure.

Barthélémy et al. (2025) studied this question.
