If melamine from plastic tableware can get into foods and drinks, does it make the foods or drinks harmful to health?

It has been found that melamine does not migrate from melamine-formaldehyde tableware into most foods. The only measured migration, in tests, was from some samples (three out of 19 commercially available plates and cups) into acidic foods, under exaggerated conditions (that is, the food was held in the tableware at 160 oF for two hours). When adjusted for actual-use conditions (cold orange juice held in the tableware for about 15 minutes), the migration would be less than 10 parts of melamine per billion parts of juice.

This is 250 times lower than the level of melamine (alone or even in combination with related compounds – analogues – known to increase its toxicity) that FDA has concluded is acceptable in foods other than infant formula (2,500 parts per billion); in other words, well below the risk level. In addition, such highly acidic foods make up only about 10% of the total diet, so the dietary level of melamine in these scenarios would be less than one part per billion.

However, when highly acidic foods are heated to extreme temperatures (e.g.,160 ° F or higher), the amount of melamine that migrates out of the plastic can increase. Foods and drinks should not be heated on melamine-based dinnerware in microwave ovens. Only ceramic or other cookware which specifies that the cookware is microwave-safe should be used. The food may then be served on melamine-based tableware.

Should I stop using plastic tableware?

Foods and drinks may be served on plastic tableware. Plastic tableware that does not specify that it’s microwave-safe should not be used to heat foods and drinks.

What problems can melamine cause if people eat or drink food contaminated with it?

Products with melamine contamination above the levels noted in FDA’s risk assessment may put people at risk of conditions such as kidney stones and kidney failure, and of death. Signs of melamine poisoning may include irritability, blood in urine, little or no urine, signs of kidney infection, and / or high blood pressure.

Unless you're a perfectionist and keep an eye on the other 1000's of chemicals......then i wouldnt worry about a 1 time deal when it comes to this situation. People eat insanely hot soups with those spoons. It's not going to hurt you as much as these chemicals that you're are willingly ingesting without really knowing it.

Now, if you tend to eat soups in the morning and own a 500 count cox of plastic spoons.....

Throw that fucking shit away and buy 1 metal spoon. You'll fucking die dipping that spoon in soup every damn morning.

since they're liquid, i thought soups can only reach 100C? that's well below 160C
