There are two completely different families of bacteria that can be on food: pathogenic bacteria, the kind that cause food borne illness, and spoilage bacteria, the kind of bacteria that cause foods to deteriorate and develop unpleasant odors, tastes, and textures. Perishable goods have a short lifetime, meaning they can easily or quickly expire. These items include dairy, meat, seafood, vegetables, fruits, and flowers. and medical supplies

They generally deteriorate due to time, environmental conditions, and poor temperature storage. Consumption of mishandled goods can affect the overall quality of a dish and can lead to the spread of food-borne illnesses.
