Document Summary
Please note that the final exam will cover material from the entire semester. This guide covers only those topics that followed the 3rd exam. For the previous topics, see the guides to exams 1-3. Much of this topic appeared on the 3rd exam. The topics below did not, so will be covered on the final. The biology of the following foodborne diseases and practices that can reduce risk of contracting them: Mycotoxins (fungal toxins) can be present in improperly stored foods, specifically, aflatoxins.
