I was under the impression that all heated plastic releases cancer causing carcinogens, so why are companies able to sell products who’s instructed cooking method is harmful to people’s health?

Frequently, the instructions involve heating it enough to kill germs. The problem is that the more you heat it, the more carcinogens are released into the food. Some companies don’t cook their chicken first and trust the consumer to cook it properly. This should be illegal. I’ve stopped buying frozen dinners that contain meat.
