(CNN) — Ripping the plastic wrap from the meat or prepackaged fruit and veggies you purchased at the grocery store may contaminate your food with micro- and nanoplastics, according to new research.

Microscopic bits of plastic are sloughing off into food and beverages when consumers unwrap the plastic packaging, a new study has shown.

Much to their surprise, they found that glass-bottled beverages — including lemonade, iced tea, beer and soda — had five to 50 times more microplastics than their plastic or metal counterparts.
