Is Medical Attention Required For Eating Out Of A Melted Takeout Container?

Hi. I bought some KFC takeout and had a leftover takeout container of their mashed potatoes. I heated it up in my microwave in the container itself and only halfway through eating did I realise that the container has melted here and there. Is that going to cause any problems?

Hi,
Welcome to Healthcaremagic.com.

I had gone through your question I can understand your concern. It depends what had melted and how much of the. Product you have taken.

Often there is no need as the products are made of plastic and it doesn't get digested in your gastrointestinal tract.

But there are painted markings on it, Pain is always harmful to body because it contains materials like lead, mercury or even mini amount of other hazardous motels.

If you don't have any immediate symptoms there is no to worry because single episode will not create any chronic broblem, what you often read about diarrhea or poisoning.


Hope my answer will help you and you can visit us back if you have any more questions to be answered.
