Question CFMI Eats FOD

A question to B738 Drivers or others knowledgeable about CFMI engines:

I was waiting behind a 738 at a runway hold and saw the #1 engine ingest a plastic bag (shopping carrier bag). Small pieces were quickly spewed out the back. I advised the crew, who thanked me and then proceeded with their take-off. Would ingesting a plastic bag be cause for concern on the CFMI or is that a non-event?
