In fact, almost all canned food can be packaged in metal cans. Moreover, glass jars are heavy, fragile, and costly. To give a simple example, a 500ml metal can weighs about 20-40g, while a 500ml glass can weighs 200-350g. Therefore, the transportation cost of glass packaging products is higher than that of metal packaging, and the actual production and transportation process is not very convenient. Therefore, in Europe and the United States such canned food consumption of large countries, most of the canned food on the market are metal cans.
