Try buying food that isn't stored in plastics, worse yet, the supply chain before you get the food probably uses plastics between the various components. Seems like such a hard problem to solve.

Plastic is used intensively to make the food too. This is a sea of plastic in Spain used for growing. https://vertical-farming.net/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/alme...

Plastic stops weeds, stops birds, is the skin of greenhouses - every step of growing seems to involve another damn square kilometer of plastic. A lot of it just degrades in to microplastics in the soil, too.

(My wife and I did a market-garden type smallholding for a while and it's damn near impossible to get away from plastic)

Honestly though - what's the point? It seems that everything is contaminated whether or not it ever touched plastic in its lifetime.
