Does food grade aluminum foil really contaminate food?

Food grade aluminum foil is increasingly being used in housework, especially prepackaged dishes. However, there is much controversy surrounding whether aluminum film actually causes metal contamination in food. In this article, let's look at the facts and opposing views on this issue with Hunufa.

Aluminum foil, also known as foil, is a disposable product, very common in today's kitchen corners. They are very light, thin and have a metal main component, specifically aluminum, so they are easy to shape, wrap, wrap, cover or line the bottom when cooking and preserving food.

Food grade aluminum foil in cooking

Among the many benefits that foil brings, there is also an opinion that because the aluminum film is light, thin and easy to shape, when it comes to food, it will stick and dissolve in food when it comes to high temperature. In particular, if aluminum encounters acidic and alkaline foods such as tomatoes, cabbage, and vinegar, a chemical reaction will occur that is harmful to the user's health.

According to the above opinion, Mr. Nguyen Duy Thinh - Institute of Biotechnology and Food, Hanoi University of Science and Technology, said that food wrapping foil is not harmful to consumers' health. The only thing that consumers need to be careful about is that they should not use foil in the microwave because the microwave oven cooks food from the inside out with electromagnetic waves that will destroy the foil quickly, aluminum ions will penetrate. food faster and easier. "Not to mention, if you use foil in the microwave - ie aluminum metal, it can cause a fire and explosion in the microwave."

Or besides, if you use quality and correct baking foil, there is no risk of food being contaminated with metal. However, if poor quality foil is used or improperly, the metal can break down and stick to the food as it is baked.

Good quality baking foil is made using very high purity aluminum (Al) (99.99%). With such purity, aluminum is very malleable and creates a very thin aluminum film, so it is unlikely that aluminum will leach into food to cause harm as some information indicates. However, poor quality or improperly used baking foil can contain harmful chemicals or heavy metals such as lead and mercury. When baking food on poor quality foil, chemicals or metals can break down and stick to the food and seriously affect the health of consumers.

1. Choose a safe foil: Choose a foil that is made from safe materials and is not harmful to health. Use of foil containing bleach, chemicals, and heavy metals should be avoided and pay attention to manufacturer's use and storage instructions.

2. Cut the foil to the right size: Cut the foil to the right size for the size of the food to be baked to avoid waste.

3. Place foil on baking surface: Place foil on baking surface before placing food on top to keep food from sticking to baking surface.

4. Do not use foil in the microwave: Foil must not be used in the microwave because it can cause fires and emit harmful substances.

5. Do not use foil too many times: Foil should not be used too many times as it may fade and reduce its non-stick properties.

6. Cleaning after use: After use, you need to clean the baking surface and dispose of the used foil.

In addition, when using baking foil, you need to pay attention to the temperature and time of baking to avoid burning or uneven cooking.
