Q. Is cling film safe to use?

Answer

When applied properly and in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations, cling film is safe to use. Chemicals from the cling film might potentially leach into the food if anyone doesn’t use it properly. Cling film can melt in a hot oven, potentially contaminating whatever is being cooked. It is recommended to read the manufacturer's instructions on the cling film before using it in the oven, however there may be cling film available that can be used in the oven. To find out if something can be heated in a microwave, see the label or website of the product's maker. In order for the plastic wrap to work in a microwave, it must be kept away from the food.
