The microbiological quality analysis of 914 samples of food products, taken at restaurants and food outlets the most vulnerable to human health in the Tetouan region (Northwest of Morocco) between 2012 and 2017, were conducted at the Regional Laboratory for Epidemiological Diagnosis and Environmental Health. This analysis showed that the rate of non-compliance of different food categories reached 77.8% during 2012, and then it dropped to a percentage of 60.5% in 2014, and a rate of 62.5% during the year 2017. This non-compliance affected all the food categories studied, but it varies according to the type of food. Meat products and raw vegetables are the most contaminated, with a rate of non-compliance of 80.75% and 81.81% respectively, followed by dairy products with a rate of 63.47%, and ready meals with 60 %.
This study aims to measure the links between quality practices and Corporate Social Responsibility of the manufacturing companies located in the Gueznnaya industrial area and Tangier free zone, based on investigations through a questionnaire. The latter was addressed to the owner-managers of such companies. 42 questionnaires were fully analyzed. The results of our investigation led us to conclude that the quality practices related to "Leadership" and "Management Process" generally have a strong impact on Corporate Social Responsibility. But a much lesser impact for the quality practices related "Strategy & Planning" and "Partnerships and resources." We have also noted the existence of two direct links marked invalid concerning the "Human Resources" and "Community and local development." To resolve this problem, such companies must seek to improve their quality practices that have low levels of influence on "strategy and planning" and "Partnerships and resources" so as to further improve their corporate social responsibility, and to engage in and become more responsible and exemplary on the economic, social and societal levels.
