Jesus christ at the numbers on the Rxbars. So much for "4 ingredients with no B.S.". Kind of insane that they could get up to 30,000 ng/serving with such a small serving size consisting of something like 4 blueberries, 4 cashews, and 3 dates.

Also the negligible levels of plastic detected in plastic water bottles is surprising. I was under the impression, based on other reports, that water in plastic bottles is something we should avoid.

I think that's mostly BPA and phthalates, and microplastics are often listed along with those, but I'm unsure if it was actually tested or if we notices people had a lot of microplastics and just assumed that was a likely source.
nikkwong OP
I remember at least one study that pointed to 250k nanoplastics in a liter of bottled water [0]. Possibly these types of particles weren't studied. There are certainly many different toxicants to be looking out for; overwhelming to the point of being pointless.
