True dat. It's a great medium for growing bacterial and fungal cultures.

Your linked article points out a very important fact. It's often not
pathogens themselves that make you sick. It's the toxins they produce as a
byproduct of living. And these bacteria and resulting toxins are usually not
the ones you see when you think food is spoiled. The worst bugs and their
byproducts are tasteless, colorless, and odorless, therefore visual and
smelling inspection doesn't tell you anything about whether something is
safe to eat. That's why there are food safety rules. You can't tell by
looking.
