I wouldn't risk heating food with any kind of plastic.
I'd like to see a study of the dosage from heating food in plastic containers vs the risks from storing food in plastic for days or weeks while in the supermarket, or transporting water for food making in plastic pipes, or growing crops for human consumption in phthalate contaminated land, or eating food from cans lined with phthalates etc.
There are so many potential sources, and it doesn't really make any sense to put effort into something that isn't a substantial source.
