I just saw an article the other day that black plastic utensils are toxic. I'm right there with you.
A couple places near me still use styrofoam. I can't get past it.
Because of those articles, I just got rid of my black plastic utensils, but I’ve been using them over a decade so if they were contaminated, it’s probably too late
It also mostly applies to new plastics which are made from recycled plastics. If you have an ancient one, it’s probably not made from recycled plastic and could be totally fine.
