What Are The Health Risks In Consuming Melted Plastic Film In Fish?
We started to bake our salmon in the oven and forgot to take the seran wrap off. We realized it ten minutes into the baking and pulled it out immediately. The majority of the seran wrap came off in one glob but there was still some on the sides of the top of the glass baking dish. will it hurt to eat this baked salmon even though the seran was removed ten minutes after it melted on the top of the fish?

welcome to hcm,
If you have already eaten don't worry, nothing will happen to you all the unwanted things will get excreted.more over safest plastics are used in house items for storing food like high-density polyethylene (HDPE, or plastic #2), low-density polyethylene (LDPE, or plastic #4) and polypropylene (PP, or plastic #5) they are not harmful when accidentally ingested.
hope this explains
