After the microbes were detected in water samples, the state conducted two weeks of intensive monitoring of shellfish meats but found no toxins, Pingree said. We found toxins in barely detectable levels" in water samples, he said.
A better question to ask would be, "What foods DONT have microbes in" because, unless you made a product entirely by artificial means containing no microbes and ate it in a vaccum, it would be hard not to eat microbes. They are all around us; in the air and on our hands.
The answer. NONE.
another better answer!!$$^^$$!!
There are five types of microbes: bacteria, viruses, protozoans, fungi, and helminths (worms).
1. Bacteria
The most abundant organisms on Earth, bacteria live almost everywhere: in the soil and water, in plants and animals. Whether they take the form of spheres, rods or spirals, bacteria consist of a single cell. Unlike the cells of animals and plants, bacterial cells lack a nucleus, but they can carry out all necessary life functions. Most bacteria are parasites, although a few manufacture their own food. Some of these parasites are very helpful -- they aid in many bodily functions including digestion, and help with other processes, such as decomposition of soil and changing of milk into cheese. Disease results, however, when bacteria multiply rapidly (each cell simply divides into two identical cells) and damage or kill human tissue, as in pneumonia and tuberculosis. Diseases can also produce toxins that damage or kill human tissue, as in food poisoning or cholera. Sometimes bacteria in the body are helpful for a while, and then something in the body or the bacteria changes, causing destruction in the host.

2. Viruses
By far the smallest microbes, viruses can appear as spirals, 20-sided figures or even more complicated forms. They consist mainly of genetic material--DNA or RNA. They are not cells, however, and cannot carry out life functions on their own. Living inside the cells of other species, viruses use the host cells to grow and produce new viral particles. As they take over genetic material to reproduce themselves, the host cells often die. Found in all groups of living things, from bacteria and fungi to plants and animals, hundreds of the known viruses can cause many kinds of infections, chickenpox, measles, flu, colds, polio, and AIDS. Viruses cannot move by themselves and must be carried to cells by air currents and then by body fluids to the cells. Some viruses may lay dormant for years before becoming active, as with AIDS. Most diseases come from other species, for example: smallpox from dogs or cattle, hemorrhagic fevers from rodents and monkeys, tuberculosis from cattle and birds, common cold from horses, and AIDS from African monkeys.
Viruses pictured clockwise from top: Adenovirus (causes the common cold), Influenza A (causes the flu), and Hepadnavirus (causes hepatitis B)
3. Protozoa
Protozoa consist of a single cell that includes a nucleus. The cell also contains structures that carry out specific processes needed for life functions. A diverse and complex group, protozoa range through many shapes and sizes. They can be parasitic, needing to live within another organism, or free-living in moist habitats. The similarity of inner structures of protozoan and human cells makes it difficult to treat infections caused by protozoa. Drugs that may destroy the protozoan may also destroy human cells. Protozoan infections include amebic dysentery, malaria, and African sleeping sickness.

4. Helminths
Other microorganisms break down body tissues or absorb digested food. They can cause anything from skin infections to internal disorders that can lead to death. The group called helminths includes flukes, roundworms, and tapeworms; these are many-celled animals with developed organs. Among the numerous types, some are parasites--organisms that live in or on another species, usually harming the host species in the process. Because of their size, parasitic worms grow outside of cells and can reach an astronomical size of 30 feet in length.
Helminths pictured left to right: Ascaris lumbricoides (an intestinal roundworm), Schistosoma mansoni (a parasitic worm that lives in contaminated water and causes schistosomiasis or bilharzia)
5. Fungi
Fungi include yeasts (one-celled), and mushrooms and molds (multi-celled). Unlike plants, fungi do not make their own food. Some species of fungi get their nutrition by breaking down remains of dead plants or animals. Others are parasites. Examples of fungal infections include athlete's foot and ringworm.

Common foods made by using microbes are cheeses, yogurt, bread. Some beverages also are made using microbes such as beer, and wine.
Bread contains yeast that makes it rise. Yeast is a microorganism
Cheese
yes, all foods are made of microbes.Especially bread and cheese.
Microbes are in our food but for a good reason. They are in our food to keep there blood pumping. Microbes are also used in our foods so then our sugar level keeps the same.
Penicillin itself does not have microbes in it, but it is made by microbes.
it makes it good and tasty
yes
This is because some microbes are too strong to handle by antibiotics.
Yes, some microbes are bad
No biscuits are not made using microbes they are made with the same ingredients as bread but without yeast. i Hope i helped
Scientests have only named 0.05% of the amount of microbes or microorganisms but there are milloins on you, in the air and soil and water and some are in foods such as cheese, beer, yeast, yoghurt and wine. The ones that have been named are: virus, bacteria, fungi, algae and protozoa.
Some Microbes can help us to live healthily by fighting against other harmful microbes or germs.
All bacteria are microbes, but not all microbes are bacteria. Viruses and fungi are the other two main types of microbes, or microorganisms.
All Microbes are not harmful. All virus are harmful. Some bacteria are harmful
