Can Accidental Consumption Of An Absorbent Pad Cause Sickness?

I accidentally cooked the black absorbent pad on the bottom of our pork roast. Didn t notice it until after we ate it the potatoes & carrots. Looks like the end seal was broken on the pad. It baked in the oven for about 3 hours. Are we going to get sick or be poisoned? I feel like an idiot. Thank you for any help or advice for my stupid mistake.

Hi,

You have baked meat in oven for 3 hours. So this duration and temperature is enough to kill almost all bacteria. So no need to worry. But anyhow if you develop diarrhea, nausea, fever like symptoms then you can revert back to this website to guide you further.

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