Aluminium foil is lightweight metal-based material produced in very thin thicknesses that can be easily formed for cooking, wrapping, covering, or lining processes when preparing or storing foods. Aluminium foil is a versatile product commonly used for numerous household tasks, many of which are related to food preparation. Aluminum foil is impervious to moisture, light, bacteria and all gases. Because of it's ability to block out bacteria and moisture especially, it helps the food last longer.

Packaging your food with aluminum foil will help prevent the food from coming in contact with germs, as it is highly resistant to all bacterias. Because aluminum foil can be easily torn, add an extra layer to your packaging to insure yourself that nothing will come into contact with the food.
