"A pristine HACCP plan and a wall of certificates mean nothing the moment a pathogen slips through a sanitation gap no auditor thought to trace, and Qesh Standards Limited built their ISO 22000:2018 Lead Auditor course around that humbling truth. They didn't let us audit from the comfort of a conference room; they constructed a mock food operation thick with deliberate weaknesses."
