Root cause refers to the deepest underlying cause or causes of positive or negative symptoms within any process that, if dissolved, would result in elimination or substantial reduction of the symptoms. It is the process of discovering the root causes of problems in order to identify appropriate solutions. Root cause analysis is a great tool for figuring out where something went wrong and is used to look deeper into problems and find out why theyre happening. Root cause analysis can be performed with a collection of principles, techniques, and methodologies that can all be leveraged to identify the root causes of an event or trend. Root cause analysis can involve different tools, processes, protocols, and perspectives, and may involve any one or a combination of these tools. Root cause analysis typically generates four different types of outputs, including problem statement, underlying causes, contributing cause, and root cause.
On the other hand, product details, positive, negative, ingredients, or materials refer to the characteristics of a product.

The Food Defect Levels Handbook provides information on the maximum levels of natural or unavoidable defects in foods that present no health hazards for humans.
