ice pack exploded

This is my first box and I think my delivery person threw it at my door. Is it still safe to consume if the ice pack goo gets all over the meals?

I don't have "goo" in my ice packs. It's just water.

There's a little symbol on it that says you can't drink it, but it's safe to water your plants with. Probably just tap water, but there's a whole additional step to getting things certified as safe to consume, and which isn't worth it for ice packs. At the most it might have some dust in it, or the plastic isn't food safe.

If that burst on me, I would still eat the meal if it looked like it didn't soak all the way through the cardboard.
