The micro plastic is in the dirt. Most commenters here think microplastic means a bit of plastic that broke off packaging.
Microplastic are plastic pieces that you need a strong microscope to see. They can be as small as bacteria.

You are going to pay hundreds per bag to send it for testing?
That's one approach, I suppose. I'd just pick a couple bags for testing then stick to a supplier tho
That still means you have to find a source that's not contaminated. Given it's even in Antarctica, that's going to be a challenge.
You're acting like you're scared of a challenge
