Crazy how people will refuse to drink from plastic water bottles from fear of BPAs and microplastics but will happily eat the dead flesh of an animal that gorged on plastics for years. Our risk analysis is as broken as our morality.

Legal limit doesn’t mean you should do that. It means you must discard/waste the feed if it is violated.
Limits aren’t guidelines.
Edit: a more sane policy for protecting consumers would limit the amount of plastic in meat. The nutritional value is 0 anyway.
That limit is there for a reason. They found it acceptable to feed animals 0.15% plastic.
I personally think no plastic in food is acceptable.
At this point, there will always be plastic in food whether put there intentionally or not. There’s probably plastic in the water we use to water our gardens.
You’re talking about micro plastics but that doesn’t add up to 40grams per day
