S. C. Johnson, the makers of Zip-loc bags says the polyethylene in their bags starts to break down at 185f/85c releasing potential carcinogens. They are very strong opposed to boiling in them.

Hey, although it tastes great and is a snap to make, most plastic bags are not meant to boil (some aren't even meant to keep liquids) anything in it. A study I read claimed it could actually be dangerous to do so because harmful chemicals could be infused into the egg from the melting plastic (if it melts). They are even questioning if it could be connected to cancer. Hey, but I am not an expert, its just what I read. I would just advise anyone to do a little research and then make a decision on how they want to make their omelets.
