The answer is the first one: with microbes or their toxic by-product.

Explanation for each option:

  1. With microbes or their toxic by-product: This is the correct answer. Food-borne illnesses are most commonly caused by consuming foods contaminated with harmful bacteria, viruses, parasites, or their toxic by-products. These pathogens can lead to various illnesses when ingested.

  2. With food additives and colorings: While some people may have allergies or sensitivities to certain food additives and colorings, these are not typically the cause of food-borne illnesses. Food additives are generally considered safe when used within regulated limits.

  3. That have been pasteurized: Pasteurization is a process used to kill harmful microbes in food and beverages, such as milk and juice. Foods that have been pasteurized are less likely to cause food-borne illnesses, as the process is designed to reduce the risk of contamination.

In summary, food-borne illnesses are primarily caused by consuming foods contaminated with harmful microbes or their toxic by-products.
