In Iran, institutions such as the Organization for Governmental Sanctions Enforcement, the Ministry of Health, Treatment, and Medical Education, and the National Standards Organization are responsible for monitoring and enforcing regulations. These institutions conduct inspections and impose penalties to prevent violations; however, they face challenges such as resource shortages and inadequate coordination between agencies. In contrast, supervisory institutions in France, including the Directorate General for Competition, Consumer Affairs, and Fraud Control (DGCCRF) and the National Agency for Food, Environmental, and Occupational Health Safety (ANSES), operate with greater coordination and rely on European Union standards. These institutions conduct regular and random inspections and possess broad legal authority to seize products and prevent their distribution. This study, conducted using a descriptive-analytical method, provides a comparative analysis of supervisory institutions in Iran and France in addressing crimes related to food, beverages, and hygiene. The findings indicate that by strengthening inter-agency cooperation, leveraging modern technologies, and revising regulations, the efficiency of supervisory institutions in Iran can be improved, thereby reducing offenses related to food, beverages, and hygiene. This comparative analysis can serve as a model for reforming regulatory structures and enhancing control systems in Iran.</p> https://journalisslp.com/index.php/isslp/article/download/252/633
