Could packaging leach under hot water?

I like cup noodles that come with convenient packets of seasoning or sauce. From time to time I forget to take away all packets before pouring hot boiling water into it.
In most cases those packets are printed with color and are made of kind of plastic or tin or something with metallic color, I am not sure what they are.

Could hot boiling water cause them to leach or lose the printing color into the food?

I believe that in most cases answer is negative, but I still want to have my paranoid solved.

By definition anything packed in/with the food has to be food grade.

Did you mean any responsible source will use food grade materials for everything with food by common sense?

I don't know where you live, but I'd say any source that is allowed to sell food in any place under a responsible government authority is required to adhere to food safety standards. So if you're in the US or France or Brazil, you're probably good. If you're in Zimbabwe, maybe not.
