Food can be contaminated by various microorganisms, including bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites. Common bacterial contaminants include Salmonella, E. coli, and Listeria, while viruses such as Norovirus and Hepatitis A can also pose risks. Fungi, particularly molds, can lead to spoilage, and parasites like Giardia can contaminate food through improper handling or water sources. Proper food handling and hygiene practices are essential to minimize the risk of contamination.
