Not necessarily

Some foods have acid in them (like lemon, lime, tomatoes, etc.) and the acid may leach some metals out of metal containers. This is why lead is no longer used in cans used to store food. On the otherhand, tin, steel and aluminum have long histories of successful use in storing food. And, in any case, some metal storage containers are actually coated with lacquer on the inside to prevent food contacting the metal. Most users would not notice this interior coating.

If you cook food in a cast iron pan, some of the iron in the pan will leach into the food. This doesn't poison you. It is actually good for you if you don't get enough iron from other food sources.

Storing food in metal container can affect the taste of the food.

That's why you should never cook acidic food in a copper pan, as copper is a poison.
