Experts warn that using aluminium foil to store leftover food poses health risks as it does not create an airtight seal. This allows oxygen to enter, promoting the growth of dangerous bacteria, fungi, and viruses. Food safety professionals emphasize that proper storage is critical in preventing food poisoning. Tupperware and sealable bags are safer alternatives, while aluminium foil can lead to infections from harmful pathogens like staphylococcus and listeria, resulting in serious health issues.
Aluminum foil alone cannot create a completely airtight seal because it's not inherently adhesive and [it] doesn't conform perfectly to surfaces.
Improperly stored food can become a breeding ground for bacteria like staphylococcus, which creates toxins that cause food poisoning.
