All foods contain microbes. Processed and unprocessed foods such as milk, eggs, broccoli, beans, cereals and meats naturally contain bacteria and other living organisms. Most of these microbes are don't cause any harm and can even be good for us but others can make our food smell bad or worse, make us sick. The microbes that make us sick are called pathogens. Food companies have special testing systems in place to make sure their products are pathogen-free before they arrive on supermarket shelves. As for the microbes that cause bad smells (spoilage microbes), we can stop them growing by storing our food correctly (check the package for instructions) and consuming it before its expiration date.
