Hi,

Plastic is made up of carbon compounds. Plastics are considered as carcinogenic which means the substances causing cancer. Melted plastics contains either Bisphenol S or Bisphenol A. Both of these are carcinogenic. Since you ate only little amount, it may not be up to the toxic level. Hereafter, be careful with plastics.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
