Abstract
This study investigated supply chain visibility and quality/safety of dairy products firms: the mediating role of regulatory compliance in Lagos State. It adopted a survey design to study a sample of 321 employees in supply chain units of selected dairy firms using stratified sampling. The data was analysed using descriptive statistics and Structural Equation Modelling. The findings revealed that traceability, information sharing, and real-time monitoring have a positive and a significant product quality/safety. Regulatory compliance significantly mediates this relationship.
