Microplastics in food: What we (don’t) know
<p>Microplastics are everywhere, from the oceans to our food, but what do we really know about their impact on our health? In this episode, we take a closer look at where microplastics come from, how they end up in food and drinking water, and what happens to them once they enter our bodies. Together with EFSA expert Elena Rovesti, we explore what science can already tell us, why so many uncertainties remain, and what research is under way to better understand the risks linked to microplastics in food. </p>

Science communication: Taking misinformation off the menu
<p>Science doesn’t end when the research is done. In this episode, we explore why how we talk about science matters just as much as the science itself. From food safety scares and fake news to insects, microplastics and AI, we look at how trust, transparency and audience awareness shape effective science communication. Joined by Barbara Gallani, EFSA’s Head of Communication and Partnerships, we discuss how to translate scientific evidence for different audiences, why perceptions matter, and how clear, coordinated communication helps people make sense of complex food safety issues. </p>
