Cover Story: The presence of microplastics in food and beverages raises concern with regard to the potential health impacts. Thus, mitigation of microplastic entry into food and beverages is seen as a key step to minimizing the ingestion of microplastics by humans. Weisser et al. (2021) followed mineral water on its way from a ground water well into glass bottles and determined microplastic concentrations (≥11 µm) at each step of the bottling process using FTIR imaging and a Random Decision Forest Model. They successfully identified the bottle caps as the main source of microplastics in mineral water. View this paper
