What is the role of Root Cause Analysis (RCA) in food safety?

Root Cause Analysis (RCA) plays a crucial role in food safety. It is a systematic process for identifying the origins of problems or risks in a food safety system. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recognizes RCA as the most vital component of food safety. It helps in identifying the underlying cause of a problem, preventing recurrence of the problem, and creating more efficient systems to reduce potential risks and problems. RCA is used to better food safety and fight frequent disease outbreaks.
