Aluminium is a reactive metal but it is still used for packing food articles/items as Aluminium is reactive metal before packing it has already reacted with oxygen and forms a protective layerof aluminium oxide

As it is already reacted it doesn't react with food stuff.

Hope it helps

Aluminium is a reactive metal but it is used for packing food items because it forms a protecting layer of Aluminum oxide which protects the food items to react with it.

Hence it is used for packing food items
