It’s a little disappointing that they didn’t do any testing of microplastic levels at different cook times. Instructions on the small baby food containers used in this study say to microwave for 20 seconds, and in my experience even going for 30 seconds makes the food uncomfortably hot. Id imagine that 3 full minutes boils the food and possibly melts the containers (and baby pouches are even smaller than the containers I’m referring to). The obvious testing procedure would be to use the containers as they are intended, so I’m a little suspicious why they chose such an arbitrarily long cook time
I totally agree. suspicious about their findings. They filled reusable pouches with milk and blasted it for 3 minutes. We’ve been feeding our toddler little spoons meals https://www.littlespoon.com/ which has a 30s to 60s microwave time to warm it. I really doubt solid food is absorbing billions of microplastics in 30s.
