contain.

Meat,fish,egg and beans Meat is mainly composed of water and
protein, and is usually eaten together with other food. It is
edible raw, but is normally eaten after it has been cooked and
seasoned or processed in a variety of ways. Unprocessed meat will
spoil within hours or days. Spoilage is caused by the practically
unavoidable infection and subsequent decomposition of meat by
bacteria and fungi, which are borne by the animal itself, by the
people handling the meat, and by their implements.
