Ever wonder why your food turns bad and dark when outside the fridge. It happens due to the reaction of bacteria with substances in food and the effect of oxygen on fats which causes them to become rancid. This is where aluminium foil has a role as it acts as a barrier against light, oxygen, odours and flavours, moisture and bacteria. Commercial aluminum foil is so pliant, you can wrap it around anything. The reason for the popularity of aluminium foil is being inexpensive, durable, non toxic and greaseproof so it's perfect for food packaging. This popularity will continue to grow and now four-sided, fin-sealed pouches have gained wide popularity for military, medical, and retail food applications and, in larger sizes, for institutional food service packs.

In food packaging it has many applications including aseptic packaging for drinks and dairy products that allows them to be kept outside the refrigerator or wrapping leftovers inside the fridge so they don't dry up. Travelling can also be more pleasurable and not messy anymore when you wrap all your food and sanwiches with aluminium foil. Furthermore, wrapping delicate foods like mushrooms and vegetables with aluminium foil are ideal for barbeques. If you have never had an onion cooked on the grill wrapped in aluminum foil, you are missing out. It's also a great solution for packaging fast food or take-away meals.
