Accidentally cooked absorbent sachet from meat tray in pressure cooker. Toxic?!


Question: I didnt see it when i put the diced beef in. The meat smells ok, eventhough the sachet ( black plastic on one side, white on the other and "papery " stuffing) was destroyed, but remained mostly in one piece, ( the stuffing looks like wet tissue paper). I am not going to feed it to my family, but would it be ok for the cat?

That was a dessicant packet it controls moisture,usually charcoal sometimes silica gel,not toxic but not very flavorizing either!
The plastic it was in is probably the main concern, usually ok but they don't intend it to be cooked which could release toxins.
I would just toss it.

You will be more careful next time??

cat can eat it.

i wouldn't chance it.........even for the cat.
