Is It Ok To Eat The Pizza After Being Cooked Above The Melted Plastic?

I turned on my oven and when it preheated I noticed that a new pan with plastic still on it was left in the oven. Some of the plastic got left on the rack and then dripped to the bottom of the oven. I proceeded to cook a pizza in the oven anyway (on a foil covered pan). Is it ok to eat the pizza after being cooked above the melted plastic?

Hello and welcome to HCM,
Plastic is a chemical and consumption of plastic is not good for health.
It is not advisable to consume a pizza cooked over melted plastic.
Assimilation of melted plastic in body can cause harm to body.
It may not cause immediate damage but the plastic can build up in body and cause long term damage.

Thanks and take care
