CSuggestive similarity
Evidence tier

Echo patterns are similarity-based hypotheses, not proof of causation. Open the sources and evaluate the linkage yourself.

Evidence Scorecard

A single score cannot prove an echo. This card triangulates semantic, temporal, and linkage evidence.

Suggestive similarity
Semantic
Strong semantic alignment
Temporal
Global precedent precedes Korea
Linkage
No recorded linkage
Tier C Suggestive similarity — semantic or keyword overlap + plausible timing
Multilingual semantic similarity
cosine similarity (method detail)0.823

Computed with intfloat/multilingual-e5-small multilingual embeddings. Display score is a calibrated mapping of the raw cross-lingual cosine (0.823); higher means closer meaning. Reflects semantic similarity, not proof of causation.

Could also be…

  • Parallel domestic policy development is possible.
  • Industry or market pressure may have driven similar language.
  • A common external shock (e.g., financial crisis, pandemic) could explain parallel adoption.

Cross-lingual similarity 58/100 (multilingual e5 embedding) — a computed signal, not proof.

Similarity type: Codex Contaminants Standard → Korea Food Contaminant Limits | maximum levels for contaminants → 오염물질 최대허용기준

Caveat: semantic similarity only — this tier records a hypothesis, not proof of causal influence.

Original (Global)

Codex CXS 193-1995 (General Standard for Contaminants and Toxins in Food and Feed), last revised 2025, establishes maximum levels (MLs) for contaminants including mycotoxins, heavy metals (arsenic, lead, mercury), and radionuclides. The Codex Committee on Contaminants in Foods (CCCF) maintains 17 MLs to ensure food safety.

Echo (Korea)

「식품위생법」 제7조(식품의 기준 및 규격) 및 「식품의 기준 및 규격」(식약처 고시)에 따라 한국은 Codex 오염물질 기준에 정합하는 자체 오염물질 기준을 설정·운영 중이다. 중금속(납, 카드뮴, 비소, 수은), 곰팡이독소(아플라톡신, 오크라톡신 A), 방사능(세슘) 등에 대한 개별 기준이 Codex ML을 반영하여 설정되어 있다.
