Is it safe to use aluminium foil, cookware or utensils?

Updated by SFA
Although small amounts of aluminium can migrate from aluminium cookware and containers to food, it is safe to use aluminium cookware and containers. Safety assessments conducted by the European Food Safety Authority and the Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives have shown that the contribution from the migration of aluminium from cookware and containers, under normal and typical use conditions of the cookware and containers, represented only a small fraction of the total dietary aluminium intake, and does not pose a health risk.
