Solution
Perishable foods:
- Perishable goods spoil quickly and require refrigeration (e.g., milk, meat, fruits).
- Perishable foods are susceptible to bacterial growth, requiring proper storage.
Non-perishable foods:
- Non-perishable foods have a long shelf life and can be stored at room temperature (for example, rice and canned products).
- Non-perishable foods are processed to increase shelf life and prevent spoilage.
