answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/07/2017 answer text <p>The United Kingdom Government, from an environmental perspective, is conducting research on the capacity for microplastics to cause harm in the marine environment and implications for the food chain. The most likely human exposure to microplastics from the marine environment is via the ingestion of seafood.</p><p> </p><p>The Food Standards Agency (FSA) has been monitoring the scientific evidence concerning the occurrence and effects of microplastics in seafood. On the basis of current information, the FSA considers it is unlikely that the presence of the low levels of microplastic particles that have been reported to occur in certain types of seafood would cause harm to consumers. The FSA will continue to monitor and assess emerging information concerning microplastics in food.</p> answering member constituency Winchester answering member printed Steve Brine question first answered 04/07/2017 11:18:49 answering member 4067 label Biography information for Steve Brine
