The competency and attitude of your certification food auditor can mean the difference between you feeling like the process has been valuable and educational or leaving you being totally frustrated and questioning the validity of the entire audit process.







Welcome to the first podcast episode of HACCP Chat where educational information and interviews are delivered to you in audio format. In our very first episode I chat with Peter Holtmann, President & CEO of Exemplar Global, about how to deal with difficult food auditors.
