Importance Of Milk Hygiene And Food Microbiology

Coming into this class I can say for sure I was not a blank slated; a little memory loss here and there but definitely not blank. Being that I had passed through modules such as Meat Hygiene, Milk Hygiene and Food Microbiology; I thought I had the perfect background for this class to be a sweet ride. Or so I thought!
