Best Answer

The internal bacteria that are spoiling or decomposing the rotting apple spread to adjoining, healthy apples and start spoiling those apples before they would begin to spoil on their own. That's why we separate spoiling and overripe food as often as possible -- to minimize the spread of the spoiling bacteria.
