Application of Content Analysis for a Qualitative Approach

Abstract

This study explains the application of content analysis to examine food safety regulations, analyzing regulatory frameworks and enforcement mechanisms across different regions. By comparing legislative texts and enforcement practices, the study identifies key differences in regulatory focus and methods used to enforce these regulations. It conducts a detailed examination of laws, guidelines, and the roles of agencies responsible for enforcement. The analysis reveals variations in regulatory approaches, such as permissible levels of additives, inspection protocols, and penalties for non-compliance. The study offers insights into the effectiveness of different food safety systems, highlighting how jurisdictions maintain consumer confidence in their food supply chains. It aims to inform policymakers, industry stakeholders, and researchers about critical elements that contribute to robust food safety standards and public health protection through improved regulatory practices.
