These types of plastic spatulas tend to be recycled plastic. Which…you’d usually be all like “Oh, that’s great!”
WRONG! Unfortunately it means you’re getting an unknown exposure level of forever chemicals and there’s rarely any oversight on what types of plastics are put into these. So it’s worse than just cooking with plastics. It’s cooking with an amalgam of unknown plastics that may be putting a huge amount of chemicals into your food.

I actually don’t use ziplocks or plastic bags, I do use glass food storage containers, and I go and eat at restaurants maybe twice a year. Wife and I are trying to have a kid, so we’re cutting as much plastic exposure as we reasonably can. Are we already lousy with plastics? Definitely. Does that mean we shouldn’t do everything we can to mitigate further exposure? Of course not, stop being a whataboutist doorknob.
