Is It Safe Eat Food Cooked In A Pot Carrying Plastic Residue ?

I was blending seasoning when a part of my plastic spatula got chopped by the blades. I seasoned the meat and cooked it. I realized that there was some plastic residue in the pot wjich I removed but I had already tasred it. Should I be worried? Should we eat it or discard it and all the other meat seasoned with it?

Hi thanks for posting your query on health care magic.

It will be better if you discard the cooked meat as plastic contamination might have possibly occurred.

It can result in symptoms like pain abdomen,vomiting,liver disorders,bile regulatory disturbances.

I strongly recommend you to use aluminium foils for food packaging.

THANK YOU,
WISH YOU A GOOD HEALTH.
