Food spoilage

Use by date on a packaged food item, showing that the consumer should consume the product before this time in order to reduce chance of consuming spoiled food

Food spoilage is the process whereby food becomes unsuitable to ingest by a person. Bacteria and various fungi are the cause of spoilage and can create serious consequences for consumers, but there are preventive measures that can be taken. The precise cause of the process is due to many outside factors as a side-effect of the type of product it is, as well as how the product is packaged and stored.

Due to food spoilage, one-third of the world's food produced for the human consumption is lost every year.[1]
