Will The Accidentally Eaten Plastic Along With Food Be Digested?

Hi, I accidentally ate a small amount of plastic (aluminium foil tray cover which is white transparent) along with the food inside the foil that was baked. Is it dangerous that I ate the plastic? Or is it something that will get digested automatically? Please help us on this...

It is not harmful - do not worry. It will most likely not be digested and you will see it in your stool in a day or two.
