Food spoilage is the process where food becomes unfit to eat due to the growth of microorganisms like bacteria, molds, and yeasts. These organisms break down food, causing changes in color, texture, smell, and taste. Factors such as improper storage, temperature, and moisture can accelerate spoilage. Spoiled food may develop unpleasant odors, become slimy, or show visible mold.
