Spices are notable in food microbiology for carrying

  • A.large numbers of actively growing bacteria
  • B.no microorganisms at all when dried
  • C.only viruses of plant origin
  • D.heavy loads of bacterial and mould spores

Answer: D

Harvested and dried in the open, spices arrive with high spore counts from soil and dust, and though nothing grows in the dry powder the spores survive to be added to whatever food it seasons. That is why spices are a recognised source of spoilage in processed meats.
