This intensive 8-week project-based online training course is tailored for professionals in the food industry, delivering advanced, science-driven Root Cause Analysis (RCA) skills to investigate high-stakes food safety failures—such as pathogen contamination, allergen cross-contact, foreign material incidents, or product recalls—while developing defensible corrective actions, regulatory compliance under FSMA and standards like SQF/BRC, and measurable risk reduction. The course features weekly 2-hour online sessions blending shared theory instruction, hands-on application to real-world projects from participants’ organizations (e.g., persistent Listeria in RTE facilities or Salmonella in dry-blending), and progress reporting for peer feedback.
