Acidified food products are those that have been treated to lower their pH, thereby enhancing preservation and safety. However, when proper procedures are not followed, the safety of these products can be compromised, leading to possible health hazards for consumers. It is essential for manufacturers to adhere strictly to established guidelines and protocols to ensure that all food products are safe for consumption.
