Coffee cans are typically made of food-grade materials such as metal or plastic. As long as the coffee cans are new, clean, and free from damage or odors, they can generally come into direct contact with food.
However, please note the following points:
-
Inspect the cans: Before use, carefully inspect the coffee cans both internally and externally. Ensure there are no visible damages, rust, or scratches.
-
Clean the cans: Whether the cans are new or reused, they should undergo thorough cleaning before direct contact with food. Wash the cans' interior and exterior with warm water and dish detergent or soap, ensuring the removal of any residue or dirt. Rinse them thoroughly and allow them to completely air dry.
-
Avoid odors: If the coffee cans were previously used to store strongly scented items such as spices or chemicals, there may be residual odors. Before direct contact with food, ensure the coffee cans are free from any odors. You can use baking soda or diluted white vinegar to remove odors, followed by cleaning and thorough rinsing.
In summary, as long as coffee cans are clean, undamaged, and meet food safety requirements, they can generally come into direct contact with food. If you have any concerns about the food-contact safety of coffee cans, it is best to follow food safety guidelines and choose appropriate food-grade containers for storing food.
