The claim

AIIMS has said that eating hot food in plastic containers or heating food in plastic containers leads to cancer

Rating

Certain plastics can leach harmful chemicals into food, especially when heated, so it’s important to use food-safe, BPA-free containers and consider alternatives like glass or stainless steel. However, AIIMS has never put out such a poster or information.
