In spite of the prevalence of aluminum in nature, no organism has been found to date which requires this element for its biological functions. The possible health risks to human beings resulting from uptake of aluminum include detrimental effects to the hemopoietic system, the nervous system and bones. Aluminum is used in many fields and occurs in numerous foodstuffs. Food contact materials containing aluminum represent an anthropogenic source of dietary aluminum.
As a result of their frequent use in private households a study was undertaken to detect migration of this metal to foodstuffs from drink containers, coffee pots, grill pans, and camping cookware made of aluminum.
An estimate of the health risk to consumers is calculated, based on the tolerable weekly intake (TWI) specified by the European Food Safety Authority of 1 mg/kg body weight for all groups of people. In some instances the TWI is significantly exceeded, dependent upon the food contact material and the food itself.
尽管铝在自然界中普遍存在，但迄今为止尚未发现任何生物体需要这种元素来实现其生物学功能。人类摄入铝可能产生的健康风险包括对造血系统、神经系统和骨骼的有害影响。铝被广泛应用于许多领域，并且存在于众多食品中。含铝的食品接触材料是膳食铝的人为来源。
鉴于这些材料在私人家庭中的频繁使用，开展了一项研究，以检测铝制饮料容器、咖啡壶、烤盘和野营炊具中这种金属向食品的迁移情况。
根据欧洲食品安全局规定的所有人群每周可耐受摄入量（TWI）为每千克体重1毫克，计算了消费者面临的健康风险。在某些情况下，根据食品接触材料和食品本身的不同，TWI被大大超过。
