The fact that these chemicals are so effective in treating illnesses in people, animals, and plants is one reason why they are employed to stop or slow down food spoiling. Please do not take this as an endorsement of the usage of any chemotherapy chemicals as food preservatives. However, as chemotherapeutic agents, several substances that are useful as food preservatives would be either too poisonous or ineffectual. Modern food preservatives, with the exception of a few antibiotics, have little practical application as chemotherapeutic chemicals in either humans or animals. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) adheres to stringent safety regulations, and while many chemicals have been described with potential as food preservatives, only a small number can actually be used in food products. This is partly because not all compounds with antimicrobial activity in vitro also work when added to specific foods. Below, you will find a description of the most often utilised compounds, together with information about their modes of action and the foods that contain them.

For the most part, foods with a high acidity level are safe against bacteria, but some moulds and yeasts may still be able to grow in them.
