Narrative:
A flameless military ration heater (frh) was identified by the 'C' flight attendant about an hour into our flight. It was inactivated. The 'C' flight attendant notified me of his findings. He then took the frh away from the passenger and placed it in double bags and stowed it in the wheelchair compartment for the rest of the flight. As he did that; I called the captain and told her about the frh; that it was being stowed properly; and that a gsc should be notified. Upon our arrival. I was busy taking care of an unaccompanied minor that was deplaning and trying to get the crew change done in a timely manner and I forgot to make sure the frh was given to ops.
