Help Meat Disaster With Marker Pen

Its Mrs Wingman here!

Can anyone help? I took delivery of our 6 weekly meat order the other day, I bagged everything up into freezer bags and wrote on the bags in marker pen what was in each bag! I have just derfrosted some gammon in the bags and noticed whilst cooking there is a bluey marker pen colour on parts of the meat:eek: I have checked the pen and it says non-toxic, is this going to be safe to eat:confused: Also obviousley the same thing is going to be with all the meat in my freezer:confused:

Help!

    I would eat it, but then my stomach lining is pretty much asbestos.

    What's the worst that could happen ...? Don't answer that!

    Anyway, if it say's non-toxic then it should be ok. Playdough's non-toxic and that's safe.

    It'll be fine. They wouldn't be able to market it for use on food bags if it were poison! Non Toxic means it's not poisonous. Eat up with confidence!

    It wasn't specially for food, its just a marker pen I use for writing addresses on my ebay sales:confused: It does state clearly non-toxic though, I cut the bits off mine, but hubbie ate his, if hes alright I won't worry too much about the other meat:p
