Is this container safe to be reheated in an air fryer?

Unless it has some kind of extra coating on it, you should be fine. To be honest though, I’d just dump the contents directly into your air fryer. Aside from slightly easier cleanup there’s no reason to risk any extra chemicals leeching into your food.
Thanks to all who answered, I will go for it because my body is mostly microplastics at this point anyway.
That's the spirit!
Yes.
Manufacturers rate these containers to 480F.
There is a thin epoxy coating on the inside of these containers, to keep the food from direct contact with the foil. This layer fails first. The colored outer layer withstands higher temperatures.
Aluminum foil is fine in an air fryer. I don't know about that black paint on the outside though.
My thinking is if it's oven safe, it's air fryer safe
The question being… is it oven safe?
If this was food delivery packaging… it might not be.
What's the black stuff on the outside? I think that will be the determining factor. I use foil in my air fryer daily.
