Staphylococcus Aureus
No. A parasite is an organism that lives at the expense to and causes harm to another organism. Foods that allow microorganisms to grow are media (singular medium).No. If the foods might allow pathogenic microorganisms to grow, they are called potentially hazardous.

False. Foods that allow microorganisms to grow are not called parasites; they are referred to as "perishable" or "potentially hazardous" foods. Parasites are organisms that live on or in a host and depend on it for nourishment, but they are not the same as the microorganisms that can grow in food.

Pathogenic bacteria can be found in a variety of foods, particularly those that are raw or undercooked. Common sources include raw meats (such as poultry and beef), unpasteurized dairy products, and seafood. Additionally, fruits and vegetables can become contaminated through contact with contaminated water or soil. Proper food handling and cooking practices are essential to reduce the risk of foodborne illness.

Potentially hazadous food. Since these foods can harbor pathogenic microorganisms and permit their growth or the production of toxins, special care must be taken to keep them out of the temperature. Or pathogenic microoganisms will grow on the food.

Sterilization is the process of killing all microorganisms on an object or surface. It is used to prevent the spread of infectious diseases and to ensure that medical equipment, food, and other items are free from harmful bacteria, viruses, and other pathogens.
What Microorganisms Need to Grow (FAT TOM): FOOD - Proteins and Carbohydrates ACIDITY: Pathogenic bacteria grow best in foods that are slightly acidic (pH of 4.6-7.5) TEMPERATURE: Pathogenic bacteria grow best between 41°F and 135°F (the danger zone). This is why leaving food at room temperature for several hours is very dangerous. Note: Foods left outside the danger zone doesn't necessary kill microorganisms, for example, refrigeration temperature doesn't necessary kill microorganisms but just slow their growth. TIME: When organisms are given favorable temperatures, proper nutrients and water they can double in population as quickly as every 20 minutes. If foods are left in the danger zone for 4 hours or more microorganisms can grow enough to make someone ill. OXYGEN: Some microorganisms need oxygen to grow and some can grow in the absence of oxygen. MOISTURE: Most microorganisms require water to grow therefore they grow well in moist food. Potentially hazardous foods grow best with a .85 or higher water activity level.

False. Foods that allow microorganisms to grow are not called parasites; they are referred to as "perishable" or "potentially hazardous" foods. Parasites are organisms that live on or in a host and depend on it for nourishment, but they are not the same as the microorganisms that can grow in food.
Foods that are not considered potentially hazardous are typically those that do not support the rapid growth of pathogenic microorganisms. Examples include dry foods such as rice, pasta, and grains, as well as canned goods, sugar, and certain fruits and vegetables that are not cut or processed. These foods generally have low moisture content or are shelf-stable, making them less likely to harbor harmful bacteria.

High temperature is used to kill pathogens in the food. Common foods that are treated this way include milk and tinner/canned foods.
No. Many foods contain toxins (think mushrooms) which must be removed to make foods safe to eat. But microorganisms can also make food unsafe.
