Reasons for using glass bottles for canned fruit and iron boxes for canned meat

When we are shopping in the supermarket, we can see some canned food packaging. Why can most canned food be packaged in metal cans. In addition, glass jars are relatively fragile and expensive. As a simple example, the weight of a 500ml metal can is about 20 to 40g, and the weight of a 500ml glass bottle is 200 to 350g. Therefore, the packaging and transportation costs of glass packaging products are higher than that of metals. In the actual production process, the transportation is not very convenient. Therefore, in Europe and the United States, most of the canned meat is sold in metal cans used in the food market.

Metal cans also have a big disadvantage, which may not play a good role in displaying certain foods. For example, fruit, because glass cans are transparent, is generally packed in glass cans, which can also improve the appearance of the product to attract consumers and increase sales. Canned meat itself needs a long period of high temperature treatment, and it doesn't look so good, so metal cans are a better choice! But the taste is the same.

After all that talk, I believe you can rest assured and understand a lot. How do you choose to buy canned meat.

1. You need to go to a regular place to buy. In addition, you need to check whether the package is intact and the shelf life is long. If the sealed package is damaged or has gas, you should not buy again.

2. When choosing, we mainly look at the nutrition label of cans, and try to choose the food with less sugar and salt.
