Food Grade Aluminum Foil Trays

-- Steady & Reliable Manufacturer --

Food grade aluminum foil trays are purpose-engineered for direct contact with food. Crafted from high-purity aluminum alloys, they are free from BPA and other harmful substances, ensuring that food remains safe, fresh, and uncontaminated from packaging to plate. Their neutral taste and odor profile make them the preferred choice of food manufacturers, caterers, and retailers worldwide.

Product Overview

Aikang's food grade aluminum foil trays are produced under stringent hygienic manufacturing conditions. The production process uses only virgin aluminum alloy — no recycled industrial scrap — to eliminate any risk of contamination. All forming dies and production machinery are cleaned and maintained to GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice) standards.

The trays are available in a full spectrum of sizes and compartment configurations. Smooth internal surfaces make cleaning or food release straightforward. A reinforced rolled rim increases tray strength during transport and stacking. The trays are compatible with standard sealing machines used in commercial food packaging lines, allowing high-speed automated sealing with both foil and board lids.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What makes a tray "food grade" as opposed to standard aluminum foil?
A: Food grade trays are made from virgin aluminum alloy with purity levels meeting FDA and EU standards for direct food contact. They are manufactured in hygienic conditions without industrial lubricants or contaminants that may be present in non-food-grade foil production.

Q: Can I use these trays in a commercial sealing machine?
A: Yes. Our flanged rim trays are dimensioned to be compatible with most standard commercial tray sealers. Please share your machine make and model so we can confirm compatibility before your order.

Q: Are the trays suitable for acidic foods like tomato sauce?
A: For short-term storage and cooking, yes. For long-duration storage of highly acidic products, we recommend using trays with a lacquer coating on request. Please discuss your specific product with our technical team.

Q: Can I get custom sizes made?
A: Absolutely. Aikang has an in-house mold design and fabrication capability. We can produce custom sizes and shapes based on your technical drawings or sample specifications.

Q: Do you provide SGS or third-party test reports?
A: Yes. We provide SGS test reports and factory audit documentation. Full compliance dossiers including migration test results are available for customers requiring EU or FDA compliance evidence.

Q: What is the shelf life of unsealed trays in storage?
A: When stored in a dry, clean environment away from direct sunlight and strong odors, aluminum foil trays have an effective shelf life of 2 years from the manufacturing date.
