Toxoplasma is a micro organism that lives in cats. It has an intricate life cycle [see for instance in the Wikipedia]. It is excreted by the cat with it's feces. So that is the way it comes into your garden and comes in touch with plants or fruits you eat. When you suspect a young cat has been digging in your garden [between the strawberries, or between the lettuce!] you should make sure you cook the fruit or vegetables.
So in fact it does not affect the food in itself.
