A visit from the auditor has been known to strike fear into the heart of even the most organised mushroom business QA manager. This is not necessarily because records are not in order, or practices are in any way unsafe. It has more to do with uncertainty about the process itself.

Clare has also been an advisor to the mushroom industry for over 10 years. MushroomLink recently talked to Clare about tips and traps for QA managers on mushroom farms.
