Is Accidental Ingestion Of Melted Plastic A Cause For Concern?

I finished cooking some Mac and cheese and put it in a plastic container and accidentally set it on the top of a stove which was just barely turned off and still hot, it kinda melted the bottom just a bit but not crazy bad and I ate the Mac and cheese and only after remembered fumes, should I be okay?

Hello.

Thank you for the query.

Generaly plastic can not be digested and absorbed. So you should excrete it as it is.
And no problems from that. No need to be concerned.

Hope this helps.
Regards.
