Is Sea Salt Contaminated With Plastic?
Question
I saw this article below from TreeHugger that says “salt samples from 8 different countries revealed the presence of plastic contaminants from ocean pollution.” I’ve been a big fan of sea salt for the last few years and use it frequently – like every meal! And, now I see articles coming out and they’re saying we’re probably eating particles of plastic whenever we sprinkle sea salt on our food. Is this possible?
