As we know Aluminum is a very reactive metal, so it reacts vigorously with acids and bases, so when an acidic food item is kept in an aluminum container then aluminum reacts with organic acids to form various toxic salts, which is harmful for human beings. So it is advised not to store acidic food items in Aluminum containers.

I hope this will help you.
