person-avatar

Asking For Other, Male 26, Lahore

If you put food in a plastic bag or shopper (that are used in Pakistan to put food in shops and hotels) and if the hot food burns the shopper and then you eat that food. would that food contain cancer causing chemicals and can this cause cancer?

yes
placing hot food in plastic bags or plastic containers or heating food in microwave in plastic containers can leach BPA into food which is a cancer causing chemical.

Can a single incident or a few occasional incidents cause cancer? or only long term exposure will cause cancer?
