Almost every restaraunt uses aluminium foils and polyehylene for packing foods - that you carry to home.How safe is this ?For how long would the temperature be mainitained ?and within what time if consumed and is it safe ?Aluminium (Al) foil is bad for packaging because some of the Al will be absorbed by the food and too much Al is toxic. Instead of Al cooking vessels you should use stainless steel vessels because some Al will end up in your food from the Al containers or vessels. If you conduct a search for Aluminium (OR Al) poisoning you should learn more. A search for aluminium (OR Al) + toxic dose (OR amount) may also be useful.Yes, it\'s perfectly fine You want to get it refridgerated within 1-2 hours of consuming the food and only keep it for up to 3 days. After that toss it.yes! its completely safe. well untill the food gets rotten its safe to consume food covered in aluminium foil.It doesnt spoil food and it does keep the food hot depending on te temperature of food and the weather outside.I was wondering about that too; I heard it somewhere before but it\'s one of those things that sits in the back of my mind till i see someone wrapping food in aluminum foil, every picky bone in my body tells me to yell no don\'t wrap my food in that but I just don\'t because there is no real harm in it. Only thing is it may change the flavor of your food after while. That part I rememberSmileOther related question
