Food actually spoils in all seasons, just a little faster perhaps in summer due to the heat. Food spoilage is caused bacterial growth. Bacterial thrive in an environment with a temperature range from 41-139 degrees Fahrenheit. This is why food is refrigerated and cooked. Meats and dairy products are especially susceptible to bacterial spoilage.

Because of the heat and moisture in the air, food can go bad very quickly. Never leave any food product unattended for more than 4 hours. Warm foods should be kept at a temperature of 135 degrees F. Cold food should be kept at a temperature of 41 degrees. You want to avoid leaving time and temperature sensitive foods unattended for long periods of time; such as cooked burgers or potato salad. Make sure you're storing food in the proper places. The pantry should be the coolest place in the kitchen, grains and canned food should be stored under 70 degrees F. The refrigerator should be at 41 degrees F or lower. Make sure you check and regulate the temperature on a regular basis.

It depends on your perception of spoilt. It is a popular misconception that children who have wealthy parents are spoilt.
