Plastic products are ubiquitous in our food supply chain, shedding microplastics into every part of the human ecosystem.

In a new study, researchers at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign examined what happens when nanoplastics interact with Salmonella, potentially affecting food safety and human health.
