How do bacteria spoil food?

There are different spoilage bacteria and each reproduces at specific


temperatures. Some can grow at the low temperatures


in the refrigerator or freezer. Others grow well at room temperature and in


the "Danger Zone." Bacteria will grow anywhere they


have access to nutrients and water. Under the correct conditions, spoilage


bacteria reproduce rapidly and the populations can grow


very large. In some cases, they can double their numbers in as little as 30


minutes. The large number of microorganisms and their


waste products cause the objectionable changes in odor, taste, and texture

How do bacteria spoil food?
By multiplying to the point of consuming or decomposing the host food.
