Food-borne illness-causing microbes thrive under certain environmental conditions, and the risk is increased with all of the following EXCEPT a **slightly basic pH**.
While protein-rich foods, moist environments, and warm temperatures are conducive to the growth of many pathogens, a slightly basic pH does not typically favor the growth of all food-borne pathogens, as many thrive best in a neutral to slightly acidic environment.
