Derived

Built live from origin, soft-law type, timeline, and sources — not a new research claim. Global vs Korean purpose are observed framings — not proof of coordination.

Global purpose

The Codex General Standard for Food Additives (GSFA), maintained online as the GSFA database, establishes conditions for the use of food additives in all foods.

Korean purpose

「식품위생법」 제7조 및 「식품첨가물의 기준 및 규격」(식약처 고시, 일명 '식품첨가물공전')은 Codex GSFA에 정합하는 한국의 식품첨가물 관리체계를 규정한다. 2025년 기준 600여 종의 식품첨가물이 지정·관리되고 있으며, Codex GSFA의 품목별 사용기준을 국내 기준 설정 시 참조하고 있다.

Reasoning echo

Observed framing link: Codex GSFA → Korea Food Additives Code | General Standard for Food Additives (GSFA) → 식품첨가물 일반기준 (GSFA). Not a claim of coordination.

Original (Global)

The Codex General Standard for Food Additives① (GSFA), maintained online as the GSFA database, establishes conditions for the use of food additives② in all foods. It provides maximum use levels for hundreds of additives across food categories③, serving as the global reference for food additive regulation.

Echo (Korea)

「식품위생법」 제7조 및 「식품첨가물①의 기준 및 규격」(식약처 고시, 일명 '식품첨가물②공전')은 Codex GSFA에 정합하는 한국의 식품첨가물③ 관리체계를 규정한다. 2025년 기준 600여 종의 식품첨가물이 지정·관리되고 있으며, Codex GSFA의 품목별 사용기준을 국내 기준 설정 시 참조하고 있다.

Score Guide
Confidence — Editorial A–D tier from semantic, temporal, and linkage evidence.
Echo Strength — Metadata completeness score. Rewards verified sources, paired links, explicit dates, keyword diversity, and origin tags.
Vocabulary Overlap — Heuristic score measuring shared tokens between global and Korean texts. Reflects loanwords and repeated terms, not meaning across languages.
