Can mold grow on aluminum foil?

Mold typically cannot grow on aluminum foil itself because it is a non-porous material that does not provide the organic nutrients mold needs to thrive. However, if food or organic matter is present on the foil, mold may grow on those residues. Additionally, if the foil is stored in a damp environment, moisture could accumulate, creating conditions conducive to mold growth on any organic material present.
