Regulatory Compliance and its Revision Concerning Country-of-origin Meat Labeling in the Restaurant Industry

Out of many restaurant regulations, Food Sanitation Article 10-3 regulating the country-of-origin labeling of meat was selected for this study of regulatory compliance. The respondents were 295 restaurant owners and managers, 66 local government food and hygiene inspection officials, and 173 restaurant customers. Regulatory compliance was measured by the following criteria: awareness, recognition of importance, and observance. Results showed that awareness of the law and of its importance was high. However, compliance was moderate because the restaurant industry found the law too complex and the penalties disproportionate. The study concluded that in order to improve compliance the government needs to more effectively clarify and communicate the relevant regulations to the restaurant industry.
