Is The Meat Safe To Eat If There Was Some Plastic Melted While Using It?
I was frying some meat for the chilli I am making. I separated the meat with a plastic spatula. I thought something smelt funny, first i thought something was in the burner, then i thought it was the spatula melting a little bit..then i looked at it and it did not really look melted down but I am not sure. So I switched to a wooden spatula. Is the meat safe to eat if there was some plastic melted while using it?

Hello,
After reading your histroy, I noted that your meat is mixed with the plastic content.
Melting of Plastic will relase toxic fumes like dioxins and furans which are highly carcinogenic, which may leads many cancers.
Be careful while using this plastic spatula. preferably donot use this plastic spatulas.
Thanking you.
