Neither are bacteria.
water
bacteria is everywhere in your water, in your body, on your food pretty much everywhere in the universe.

From food, water, air and chockke doppeeekd
Air molecules, water molecules, dust and dirt. When the food get rotten, small microorganisms will be formed, like bacteria.
The salt draws water from the food and reduces the amount of pure water available to bacteria that need it to multiply. It can also dehydrate existing bacteria, killing many if not all.
The bacteria in frozen food die. This is because bacteria need food, water, and a warm temperature in order to survive.
They thought that cholera was spread from water and food because of the bacteria in the food.
by wind by food by water by direct contact
The four basic elements for bacteria to grow are a food source (nutrients), moisture (water), a suitable temperature, and a favorable environment (pH and oxygen levels). Without one or more of these elements, bacteria may not be able to thrive and reproduce effectively.
Food because there's more food then water.
by packing food with a lot of salt, osmosis is being used to keep bacteria out of the food. If bacteria land on food with a high salt content, then the salt will suck moisture out of the bacteria via osmosis and the bacteria will die. This is not true for halophiles (bacteria that tend to enjoy being in high salt content), but it is true for many bacteria. This is why, before a good understanding of micro-organisms was developed, people noticed that food could be preserved with salt and this was known as "curing" the food.
