Is it safe to eat food off of melted Styrofoam when pregnant?

Styrofoam contains styrene, a chemical that is known to be toxic to humans, and especially to pregnant women and their unborn children. When styrene leaks from Styrofoam containers and is ingested, it can cause numerous health problems, including but not limited to birth defects, developmental disorders, and even cancer. Therefore, it is extremely important to avoid coming into contact with Styrofoam, let alone consuming food that has come into contact with melted Styrofoam.
