Well in the simplest way I can put it is the bacterium and fungi are "eating" the food the waste they produce is toxic.
However! many bacterium and fungi produce byproducts that are nontoxic or beneficial if altered or at a low dose e.g. botox cosmetics' mains ingredient is actually just a VERY small dose of Botulinum Toxin Type A one of the most deadly toxins known, and penicillin is produced by a fungus. All milk products (besides milk) like cheese and yogurt use bacterial enzymes too.
