What Are The Repercussions Of The Accidental Ingestion Of Plastic?
Question: Hello. The Saran Wrap was accidently left on the casserole while in the oven. When I took it out and removed the foil, I noticed reminants of it in the foil and on the outside of the dish. To be safe I scrapped the cheese off the top and ate the rest. I am 12 weeks pregnant and now I worry I harmed the baby. Is this a concern? Thanks
Brief Answer:
There is no reason to worry
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thank you for trusting HealthacareMagic
There is no need for concern or worry. Single exposure to plastic in food do not cause any problems to growing baby.
However, in future be careful to use BPA free plastic, as BPA is the chemical that has found to be harmful during prolonged exposure.
