What is
canned food, and how good is it? is a question that has been hounding consumers
for, well, since canned foods were introduced in marts and supermarkets.
manufacturers of canned food products always have had to bat away the
all-important question - How safe is the ‘food can’ that is being used to sell
the fruits or vegetables? There have always been conflicting opinions regarding
the quality of these containers and the resulting condition of the food
material within, but manufacturers have been striving to provide consumers with
the best quality food that can be made available.
The
process of preserving food through their processing and sealing in an airtight
container is known as ‘canning’. The shelf life provided through
the use of the canning technique is usually 1-5 years, although some rare
cases such as canned dried lentils can last as much as 30 years in the
edible form. The concept of food cans has been around for as long as the
early years of Napoleonic wars, wherein Nicolas Appert, a French
confectioner and brewer, found a way to seal food in glass jars. This
technique caught on rather quickly, with canned food becoming a status symbol
in the European middle-class households. The Europe food can market has
consequently seen rapid growth through the years.

Recycling Of Food Cans Has Numerous Advantages….
Food
cans are found in all shapes and sizes, with a vast majority of countries
around the globe having these products in commercial kitchens. They provide
consumers with safe, nutritional and economical food options, with the added
advantage of long-term shelf life and sustained food quality. Food cans are
also environment-friendly, and the Can Manufacturer's Institute and The
Aluminum Association have sprung up some interesting facts regarding
its usefulness and recyclability, such as:
- Aluminum
beverage containers can be recycled and put back on the shelf in just 2
months.
- Steel
food cans may undergo recycling multiple times without losing their
quality or strength, giving them a long product cycle, while their
recycling rate is 2.5 times higher than other packaging techniques.
- Almost
75% of the aluminum produced in the United States is still being used
presently, speaking volumes about its recycling capabilities.

Canned Food Has High Nutritional Value
Also,
contrary to popular belief, food cans, be it for vegetables or seafood,
help to maintain most of the food product’s nutrients. Majority of the minerals
as well as fat-soluble vitamins such as A, D, E, K are all retained.
However, the presence of water-soluble vitamins, such as B and C, may
witness damage, as the canning process generally involves high heat.
However, these vitamins may also be lost during cooking at home with fresh
ingredients. Another fact to be noted is that while there may be decrease in
the number of certain components in the product, they also help in increasing
the amount of other healthy compounds.
Types Of Food Cans
Food
cans are manufactured using two raw materials:
- Steel
- Aluminum
Steel
cans are further divided into tin-plated steel and tin-free steel.
Both types of the raw materials find a wide application scope in F&B
industry as they are used to pack fruits, vegetables, meat, pet food. Aluminum
cans are expected to grow at a higher rate as compared to steel cans, owing
to high quality preservation and corrosion resistance offered.
Further,
these cans are divided on the basis of the number of pieces that they are
assembled from, which can be either two or three pieces. The two-piece
metal food cans consist of a body integrated with a bottom lid, and a
lid with a lip; while three-piece metal ones consist of a
bottom lid, a top lid, and a cylindrical body.
