Hi! I am 11 weeks pregnant now.I know I should br careful in consuming food. Earlier on i put my sandwich with plastic to heat up for 1 min. But unexpectedly I saw the plastic melt in less than a min. So i quickly took it out less than 1 min of heating up. May I know will it cause harmful to myself and baby if i consume the sandwich when the plastic was melt? Thanks
Hello and Welcome to 'Ask A Doctor' service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice. Care should be taken with foods. Plastics are not things this to be used for food however single time if the plastic melt do not seem to have any bad effect on body or pregnancy. A lot has been debated over the hazards for long time use so I would advise the chronic use should be discouraged especially if you warm it this much. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
