Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Many fruits, such as peaches, oranges and apples are acid foods as their pH is below 4.6. Many vegetables, meats and fish have a pH above 4.6 making them low-acid foods. There are some exceptions, but most fresh seafood has a pH above 6.0 - putting it in the optimal range for bacterial growth.
