Detailed explanation-1: -Most natural foods have a limited life: for example, fish, meat, milk and bread are perishable foods, which means they have a short storage life and they easily spoil.
Detailed explanation-2: -Yeasts and molds are the main spoilage organisms in cultured products such as yogurt, sour cream, and buttermilk. Pseudomonas species, yeasts, and molds can spoil butter. Butter’s high fat content and low water activity make it more susceptible to surface mold growth than to bacterial spoilage.
Detailed explanation-3: -Meat and poultry are highly perishable food products, which, unless correctly stored, processed, packaged and distributed, spoil quickly and become hazardous owing to microbial growth (McDonald and Sun, 1999).
