== == Three types of micro organisms affect food: bacteria, moulds and yeasts. By a natural chain of events, these micro organisms will cause food to change - often, but not always, making food "bad" or unpalatable

Food spoilage is anything that affects the appearance, texture, smell, and taste of a food. It is caused by spoiling microbes that reproduce on the food and break it down.
