Is It Good To Eat Food Baked In Oven Along With Plastic For An Hour?

Is it safe to eat a chicken pot pie from costco that comes in plastic if it has baked in the oven for an hour with the plastic melting into the food???
Seriously??? You want to charge that much money for answering my question??? No thanks, I am thinking I can continue to either Google or Youtube my question. There isn't any proof that any of you are legit dr.s. Thanks anyways

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

If the plastic has melted into the food, it would be best not to consume it. It is possible that it can cause obstruction of some aspect of the gastrointestinal tract.

There is medical documentation of the plastic in these container being accidentally ingested and causing food impaction and a tears in the lining of the esophagus.

I hope this helps
