Aluminum foil is usually used to seal leftover food from air. However, its use can be dangerous because the food cannot be completely covered by aluminum foil.

According to the Washington State Department of Health, bacteria are also influenced by air to grow. Bacteria such as staph and Bacillus cereus that cause foodborne illnesses cannot even be destroyed by cooking temperatures.

If food is left at room temperature for more than two hours, bacteria will grow rapidly. Therefore, containers that are really tight are needed so that the food can last a long time.
