What ‘microwave-safe’ on your takeaway box really means
According to Sandhya Pandey, Chief Dietician at Medanta Gurugram, the "microwave-safe" label on containers does not guarantee complete safety when reheating food. Factors such as plastic type, temperature, and food content can affect chemical migration. It is best to transfer takeaway food to a microwave-safe glass or ceramic dish to avoid potential exposure to contaminants.
