Abstract: This study investigates how and why the translation role of private meso‐institutions can help in the implementation of food safety norms in Brazilian dairy supply chains. Relying on a unique dataset containing producer‐level data, we combine a difference‐in‐differences approach with matching to investigate the experience of the Brazilian Conseleites. Our results indicate that milk quality levels tend to be higher in the states where Conseleites operate, suggesting a reduction in the cost of obtaining and disseminating information, and potentially, of transaction costs in a more general way.
