Super cool project, but I think there's pretty valid nitpick here:

It should clearly state the container (when multiple are possible) as that's likely the origin of 99.9% of the microplastics, as well as temperature. Prime example: "Starbucks Matcha Latte". I bet there are orders of magnitude difference in microplastic content between getting a hot one in a plastic (coated, if not fully) takeaway cup vs an iced one in a mug.

In general, containers and the way they're used generally make the difference, but all the focus here is only on the food item.

My suspicion as well, but so far we have only guesses, not data.
