Aluminum is a metal element, long-term use of aluminum foil lunch box food will not cause harm to human health?
First, what is aluminum foil
Aluminum foil is made of metal aluminum directly through the calendering process of ultra-thin continuous metal sheet, itself no heavy metals and other harmful substances, in the production process of aluminum foil, the use of high-temperature annealing disinfection process, so the aluminum foil can be very safe to contact with food and its thickness is usually in the 0.01-0.03 mm. According to the national standard "Refined Aluminum Foil", the toxic elements in aluminum foil should comply with the following regulations: lead: no more than 0.01%, cadmium: no more than 0.01%, arsenic: no more than 0.01%. Therefore, for barbecue, food and other packaging, the best choice is high-quality aluminum foil paper, and its lead content should be in line with national standards.
Second, environmentally friendly recyclable
Aluminum has a very high recyclability and regeneration, can be unlimited regeneration recycling, the loss of quality is also limited, and can maintain its original characteristics. Recycled aluminum can be used to produce many manufactured products. The process of recycling aluminum foil requires less than 5% of the energy needed to produce primary aluminum and emits 95% less greenhouse gases than primary aluminum. Aluminum foil lunch boxes can be easily compressed and sorted after use, thus reducing the amount of waste generated.
Use of Aluminum Foil Lunch Boxes
Aluminum is a very active metal, it is easy to be oxidized by oxygen in the air under normal temperature and pressure to generate aluminum oxide, which is a dense protective film that prevents some substances from further corrosion of aluminum. And aluminum foil lunch boxes are coated, in the air is not chemical action, so it will not produce toxic substances, can be used with confidence. But a little attention should be paid to the aluminum foil containers should not be stored in acidic food, will destroy the surface of the oxide layer, accelerate corrosion. Aluminum foil box can be directly put in the oven, grill, air fryer, steam cabinet, electric ceramic stove, direct heating in the open fire, but not applicable to put microwave heating.
Aluminum foil is used to make food packaging containers, including take-out packaging, has been widely verified, the material itself is non-toxic and harmless, under normal use conditions will not cause harm to the body, can be used with peace of mind.
Established in 2008, GNEE Aluminium is a professional manufacturer and supplier of aluminum foils with more than 35,000 square meters of factory space and at least 5,000 tonnes of aluminium foil related products in stock, which has the advantage of vast market resources and a good reputation in China.
