Aluminum-Based Packaging

Stub page. Chuchu et al. 2013 discusses aluminum-based packaging as a plausible source of aluminum contamination in ready-to-drink infant formulas and powdered formula products, including plastic bottle seals, laminate cartons, foil-lined containers, and foil pouches. Dabeka et al. 2011 reports that ready-to-use formula stored in glass bottles contained about 100-300 ng/g more aluminum than the same formula stored in metal containers, but most glass-stored electrolyte and glucose solutions contained less than 8 ng/g aluminum, so the paper does not assign the increase to glass alone. The aluminium content of infant formulas remains too high Lead, cadmium and aluminum in Canadian infant formulae, oral electrolytes and glucose solutions

Evidence Status

This page is a supply-chain graph anchor for packaging-related aluminum evidence. It should not be used to assign a packaging-specific p90 until source-backed migration or controlled packaging-comparison data are ingested.

The five most recent substantive edits to this page, classified major (evidence or structure moved), correction (a published value or statement was wrong and has been fixed), or minor (narrative rewritten without changing the underlying evidence). Each description is derived from what the edit did to this page; the linked commit is the authoritative record, routine regeneration passes are excluded, and the full version history lives in git.
