Food packaging: aluminium foil and aluminium foil trays

摘要

The company Carcano Antonio SpA and the Laminazione Sottile Group have sponsored a joint study to determine the quantity of aluminium present in some foodstuffs, as well a the migration quotas of the aluminium packaging of the self-same foodstuffs. Without presuming to be exhaustive on such a complex subject, the scientific rigour adopted in the test phase makes it a virtually unique document regarding results achieved and the values expressed on the potentialities of aluminium in preparing and preserving foodstuffs. Given that aluminium is abundantly present in nature, water and food, human beings are highly exposed to this element (or its compounds) through breathing, skin contact and ingestion.
