What Makes Some Foods Go Bad Faster Than Others?

Some foods go bad faster than others because they have more germs and moisture, which help bacteria grow. Foods like meat or cheese are soft, wet, and full of germs, that's why they spoil quickly. Foods like chips or cookies are dry and hard, so it takes longer for them to get moldy or smelly.

When food spoils, it can make you sick if you eat it. That’s why it’s important to know which foods need more attention, like keeping them in the fridge or eating them before they go bad.
