Sour foods contain organic acids that react with the metal to corrode the metals.
EXPLANATION:
Sourness of foods is because of the acids present. We know that the metals react with acids resulting in the formation of substances that corrode the metal.
This corrosion of metal containers brings about a change in the taste and flavour of the food. In some cases, the food also gets spoil and is not good for consuming.
