False. Foods that allow microorganism to grow are not called parasites. Parasites are organisms that feeds on the nutrients of its host.
For example leeches. They suck on our blood.

Foods that allow microorganism to grow are called potentially hazardous foods. They are high in protein and moisture and are slightly acidic.
For example hamburgers. They are high in protein and moisture.
