Which of the following food items cannot be stored in an aluminium jar?

A.
Pudding
B.
Milk
C.
Amla pickle
D.
Cooked rice

Solution:

The correct answer is Amla pickle.Explanation:Aluminium is generally not recommended for food storage because any contact with acids causes discoloration and leaching if foods are stored in those metals for an extended period of time.Metals such as aluminium readily react with acid to produce hydrogen gas. This can cause the pickle to spoil.Pickles with a high acid content are made with salts or vinegar.As a result, because aluminium is a metal and Amla pickle is acidic, Amla pickle cannot be stored in an aluminium jar.The acids react with the aluminium to produce hydrogen, which will deteriorate the quality and taste of the pickle and is also harmful to the human body if consumed. As a result, Amla pickle can only be stored in a glass jar.
