Hi,

You might have had food that seemed to be contaminated with plastic by mistake. You have removed food from it and exposure is for once. So it will not lead to any damage. So don't worry about that.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Parth Goswami,
