Answer:

Bread Flavored syrup (contains water, high sugar concentration, flavors, e.g., used to flavor coffee and drinks)

Explanation:

Food spoilage refers to a situation in which food is no longer fit for consumption due to the action of certain microorganisms on the food. Hence, microorganisms cause the spoilage of food and beverages.

The rate of action of microorganisms on different beverages depends mostly on the content of the beverages.

Yeasts are often responsible for the spoilage of beverages with high sugar content and these tend to spoil faster than other beverages.
