Which of the following is an example of perishable foods that CANNOT be stored for more than a day or two at room temperature, i.e., they have a shelf life of 1 or 2 days?

Perishable foods are those that spoil rapidly if not stored under controlled conditions. Milk has a high water and nutrient content, making it highly susceptible to microbial growth, giving it a very short shelf life of 1 to 2 days at room temperature. On the other hand, dry fruits, spices, and biscuits are non-perishable or semi-perishable items due to low moisture levels.
