There are generally no significant health risks associated with using paper plates instead of aluminum foil facing. Paper plates are made from food-grade materials and are designed to be safe for contact with food. However, it's important to ensure that the paper plates are free from any harmful chemicals or dyes, and are not contaminated during production or storage. Aluminum foil facing, when used properly, is also safe, but it can leach aluminum into food if heated excessively or used with acidic foods. Both options are generally considered safe, but it's always best to use products from reputable manufacturers and follow usage guidelines.
