Since ,
✴Zinc are more reactive than the tin and
tin react very slow with acids .
✴That means if food having acid nature are kept than the tin doesn't react with it.
But ,
▫ Zinc being more reactive in nature can react with acid causing toxic material to be formed.
So, food cans are made up of tin metal.
