​

Answer 1

Explanation:

There are many species of fungi that are found on food items such as murabba,sauce, pickles, chutney, jam and so on, which make use of the nutrients in these food items to develop and reproduce. In the process of this activity, these fugi release certain poisonous chemicals known as mycotoxins, into the food. Hence, the food becomes poisonous so the food items on which fungi have developed are not to be eaten.
