Abstract
<div>The current scope of research in consumer-packaged goods has focused primarily on how packaging design is structured to differentiate itself from its competition with the ability to grasp a consumer’s attention in mere seconds. The communicative effects of packaging research span the elements of design as they influence the perception of product attributes and expected consumer experiences. This major research paper explores which elements of packaging design are used in health-positioned products in consumer-packaged goods in Canada and how these elements of design are leveraged to craft a narrative. The framework of packaging design elements and implications from past research is used to support the findings and provide critical</div><div>analysis in conjunction with the content analysis conducted on two well-established health-positioned food brands in Canada, Presidents Choice Free From and Presidents Choice Blue Menu.</div>

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
