Abstract
Abstract Previous research has highlighted several quality-related concerns regarding food supplements available on the market, which compromise their safe consumption. This study evaluates whether the adoption of the European Pharmacopoeia (Ph. Eur.) as a framework for improving supplement quality could enhance quality and safety control practices. The findings are derived from a comparative legal analysis of the Canadian and U.S. legal systems. The results suggest that its application in the Canadian market may serve as an illustration of the Brussels effect in practice. Simultaneously, the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) already encourages EU Food Business Operators (FBOs) to utilise the Ph. Eur. when assessing food supplement ingredients. Nevertheless, careful consideration is necessary regarding the extent of regulatory compliance by FBOs to mitigate potential conflicts with existing EU legislation and to prevent delays in innovative developments within the supplement market.

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
