Unplanned ingredient added to my wort today...is my beer ruined?

Help!
BLUF: Sometime during my boil, a plastic light cover from the oven grill fell in my kettle.

So, our house here has a glass top stove, and an embassy-provided U.S. electric oven/stove combo. I usually use the US stove, but the big burner stopped working today. I did the boil on my glass top (which worked fine, if slow, for my first 5 brews). At some point during my nice and steady boil, the plastic light cover from the grill above the stove fell in my brew pot (see pictures).

After boil was done, I moved the pot over to my US stove to do a whirlpool and then cooling (w/wort chiller). During the 2-min stirring, I heard something in the pot, but thought it must be me bumping the spoon against the valves on the pot. Later, when I poured the wort into the fermenter, I saw the light cover at the bottom of the pot.

QUESTION: Is my beer ruined? It smelled wonderful. (I did the Fruitcake recipe in Extreme Brewing.) I didn't taste the gravity sample though. Did the plastic leach something dangerous in the beer?

This is where the light cover fell from.

This is the POS plastic light cover that I found in the bottom of my kettle.

As long as it was in the boil, the only likely side effect is slitghtly lower head retention if you just introduced a lot of animal fat/veggie oil into the wort.

Should be totally safe if you boiled it. +1 on the lack of head retention due to oils

Thanks all. Glad to hear!

Let us know how it turns out! Maybe name it something punny after that incident

Those filters need some serious cleaning
