No. A parasite is an organism that lives at the expense to and causes harm to another organism. Foods that allow microorganisms to grow are media (singular medium).
No. If the foods might allow pathogenic microorganisms to grow, they are called potentially hazardous.

No, foods that allow microorganisms to grow are not called parasites. Parasites are organisms that live in or on another organism and obtain benefits at the host's expense. When microorganisms grow on food, they typically lead to spoilage, not parasitism.
