We cooked a chuck roast overnight in a crock pot and when shredding the roast the next morning discovered there was a plastic coated soak pad attached to the bottom of the roast that we hadn't noticed when putting it in the crock pot. Ever happend to anyone before? Whats the chances of any chemicals from the pad (plastic with some kind of cloth or cotton pad enclosed in the pad) leaching into the meat during cooking for eight hours. One person will be eating the meat. Will it be just a matter of a funny taste or should we just pitch the meat for safetys sake

It's fine. The pad is made of materials that are safe when cooked along with the meat. It's mostly, including the "plastic", made of cotton plant products and edible cotton cellulose. And, there won't be any residual bad taste. Don't you dare throw that roast out. Invite me over, too, for some. : ) RN

The one main rule in food saftey is "When in doubt... Throw it out" I know it is not the answer you really wanted to hear. But it is the one guaranteed not to make anyone sick. Sorry.

I am worried about the blood soaked thing and the low cooking temperature allowing the growth of bacteria.

Perhaps the better question is how do you feel about the person that is going to eat it?

I'm ot sure you have anything to worry about. Foods in restaurants are often held in plastic bags in steamers. And I never heard of paper products used in food prep being toxic. We microwave in paper & plastic all the time.
If you don't get a bad taste then it's probably ok.
