The amount of microplastics can vary depending on the type of cheese, whether it is fresh or ripened.
Indonesia tops the global per capita microplastic dietary intake at 15g monthly, according to the study.
Iodised salt was found to contain the highest levels of microplastics, while organic rock salt had the lowest concentration.
If someone drinks 300 millilitres of hot coffee daily in a polyethylene cup (about 1 cup), they could ingest about 363,000 microplastic fragments every year.
Boiling and filtering your water before drinking might be the simple hack you need to cut down on microplastics, researchers reveal.
Study revealed that Indians were consuming about 117 micrograms (0.117 milligrams) of microplastic annually if the average person has a daily salt intake of 5 grams.
