Are Foods that allow microorganisms to grow are called parasites?
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.

What is the name for foods containing live microorganisms?
probiotics
Are all microorganisms good for you?
No, not all microorganisms are bad for you. In fact, your body is full of them. Some micro organisms are needed by your body to help break down foods in the Intestines. These are called good bacteria. Some drinks actually contain bacteria for example the drink "Biofeel" or "Yakult" Another use of microorganisms is in the making of cheese. Viruses are not organisms, they are more like a chemical reaction stored for later use. Some scientists believe they are an evolved form of a micro organism. ___________________ Not by any means.

How are microorganisms used in food?
Microorganisms are used in the processing of many foods. Yeast is used in the fermentation process to produce ethanol (alcohol), lactobacillus bulgaricus is used in cheese making and also in the production of yoghurt.

What foods are PHF?
Potentially hazadous food. Since these foods can harbor pathogenic microorganisms and permit their growth or the production of toxins, special care must be taken to keep them out of the temperature. Or pathogenic microoganisms will grow on the food.
What is the purpose of sterilization?
The purpose of the Sterilization Process is the destruction of all pathogenic organisms together with spoilage/non-pathogenic microorganisms, to achieve the Safe Preservation at Room Temperature of treated products.
Which foods contain good microorganisms?
yogurt
What bactirea needs to grow?
What Microorganisms Need to Grow (FAT TOM): FOOD - Proteins and Carbohydrates ACIDITY: Pathogenic bacteria grow best in foods that are slightly acidic (pH of 4.6-7.5) TEMPERATURE: Pathogenic bacteria grow best between 41°F and 135°F (the danger zone). This is why leaving food at room temperature for several hours is very dangerous. Note: Foods left outside the danger zone doesn't necessary kill microorganisms, for example, refrigeration temperature doesn't necessary kill microorganisms but just slow their growth. TIME: When organisms are given favorable temperatures, proper nutrients and water they can double in population as quickly as every 20 minutes. If foods are left in the danger zone for 4 hours or more microorganisms can grow enough to make someone ill. OXYGEN: Some microorganisms need oxygen to grow and some can grow in the absence of oxygen. MOISTURE: Most microorganisms require water to grow therefore they grow well in moist food. Potentially hazardous foods grow best with a .85 or higher water activity level.
What is the name for foods containing live microorganisms?
probiotics
Is it only the microorganisms on food that cause food poisoning?
No. Many foods contain toxins (think mushrooms) which must be removed to make foods safe to eat. But microorganisms can also make food unsafe.
Why are some foods heated to high temperatures before they are bottled?
High temperature is used to kill pathogens in the food. Common foods that are treated this way include milk and tinner/canned foods.
