not actually realised upon implementation. Further, the process is fraught with a lot of both internal and external challenges. A number of literature exist on the impact of food safety regulation on enterprises, the drivers for, benefits of, and challenges to an integrated approach to operationalising the requirements of food safety regulation in a variety of countries and sectors; these studies have provided guidance on how to effectively implement regulatory requirements on the shop floor, particularly in Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP) regulation, and the compliance process model. Even though SMEs are said to contribute significantly to the economies of most countries, they are the least likely
to comply with regulatory requirements because of resource constraints. Most studies have focused on large enterprise, independent of SMEs, arguing that it is difficult to get responses from smaller enterprise, and hence there is a paucity of work in this area. Further, the authors are not as yet aware of any study that has particularly studied the drivers, benefits, challenges and success factors in the context of the UK food manufacturing sector. Exceptions occur in Fairman and Yapp (2004) and Yapp and Fairman (2006), who studied some of the variables in the context of SMEs in the catering sector and Taylor (2001) who did not make explicit the sector of focus. The uniqueness of this paper lies in the use of an empirical approach to study food manufacturing enterprises in the UK, a statistical examination of the significance of the difference between both SMEs and large enterprises in relation to an integrated approach to food safety management, and a contribution to the insights relevant to challenges enterprises face, to inform future policy revisions and decisions. Section 2 looks at the developments in food safety regulations and Section 3 discuses public and private regulation of food safety in the UK. Section 4 outlines the methodology, and results are presented in Section 5. A discussion of results is done in Section 6 and conclusion made in Section 7.
