AB  - : The ongoing use of plastic polymers to manufacture food packaging has raised concerns
about the presence of nano- and microplastics (NMPs) in a variety of foods. This review provides the
most recent data on NMPs’ migration from plastic packaging into dairy products. Also discussed
are the possible effects of NMPs on nutrient digestion, absorption, and metabolism. Different kinds
of dairy products, including skimmed milk, whole liquid milk, powder milk, and infant formula
milk, have been found to contain NMPs of various sizes, shapes, and concentrations. NMPs may
interact with proteins, carbohydrates, and fats and have a detrimental impact on how well these
nutrients are digested and absorbed by the body. The presence of NMPs in the gastrointestinal
tract may impact how lipids, proteins, glucose, iron, and energy are metabolized, increasing the
risk of developing various health conditions. In addition to NMPs, plastic oligomers released from
food packaging material have been found to migrate to various foods and food simulants, though
information regarding their effect on human health is limited. Viewpoints on potential directions
for future studies on NMPs and their impact on nutrient digestion, absorption, and health are also
presented in this review.
