I believe regulations require that everything you put in or on food is technically editable. Like the paper stickers on bread or produce. They are disgusting, but if you or your child accidentally eats them, they are fine.

Those tiktokers eating the plastic around fruit chews are vindicated!

So I can eat the plastic wrappers?

Once?

You can probably get away with it more than once, after all there was that one person who was addicted to eating plastic. I will say it definitely isn't good for you to do it, so I definitely wouldn't recommend it.

I did eat those chicken wrappers accidentally at a buffet.
