Think glass is safer than plastic? It might contain more cancer-linked microplastics; study says

A recent study by France's food safety agency, ANSES, reveals that glass bottles contain significantly higher levels of microplastics than plastic bottles or cans. The contamination primarily originates from the paint coating on metal caps, shedding particles into beverages during storage and transport. Further research is needed to assess health risks and improve packaging standards.
