Abstract
Custard poses a health risk as it can support microbial growth; however, few studies have investigated custard tarts as a potential hazard. Custard tarts were sampled from 14 Toronto bakeries for microbial quality, pH, and water activity. The custard tarts displayed the ability to support microbial growth, with a pH of between 6.3 and 6.5 and a water activity of between 0.94 and 0.96. No microbiological results exceeded the Ontario limits for post-production contamination levels of Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, and coliforms. It was concluded the heat used during the baking process likely kills any pathogens present and creates a surface too dry to support microbial growth. Therefore, custard tarts may not inherently pose the same risk as non-contained custard desserts.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
