Yes. Anything that comes into our bodies MAY contain pathogens.

A disease that originates outside the body is an infectious disease caused by pathogens such as bacteria, viruses, or parasites. These pathogens can enter the body through various routes such as air, water, food, or direct contact with an infected person.
This body part is likely the stomach, with its acidic environment and digestive enzymes that can break down pathogens. These enzymes help neutralize harmful bacteria, viruses, and other pathogens that may enter the body through food or drink.
catiminatd food or water
Infections can enter the body through several routes, including direct contact with contaminated surfaces or infected individuals, inhalation of airborne pathogens, and ingestion of contaminated food or water. Additionally, breaks in the skin, such as cuts or insect bites, can allow pathogens to enter the bloodstream. Other routes include mucous membranes, such as those found in the eyes, nose, and mouth. Each route presents different risks and mechanisms for disease transmission.

Pathogens can enter yogurt if unpasteurized milk was used and if the temperature was not brought up to temperature before inoculating the milk with the yogurt cultures. Spoilage of the milk would occur if the temperature was not brought to 80 degrees celsius for 15 minutes. Pathogens also enter if food handling procedures are misused or if there are unsanitary practices. This all can be prevented by proper temperatures, proper food handling and hand washing practices.
They get into your body through raw food.
