Methodology
Every row is a verbatim sentence read from the named source's own page through our fetch service on the date shown, hash-pinned to the stored read (the sha of the page's visible text; the raw page is mirrored to R2).
4 of the 22 named sources that could be read published a usable figure; 17 published none and are recorded as not published, never filled in; 1 could not be read (blocked, dead or unreachable) and count nowhere.
The headline figures (median, minimum, maximum, quartiles) are over ONE figure per source in year (a source's median where its page yielded several accepted sentences), so N counts sources, never sentences; 8 candidate sentence(s) were refused by a reviewer with the reason recorded.
The fuller derivation this dataset is chartered to grow into (not yet what the figures above are; they are each source's own published figure as read): one row per jurisdiction per obligation - who must have HACCP-based procedures, the instrument and article that says so, the principles as codified there, the review trigger, the record-retention period and the penalty - each quoted from that jurisdiction's own authority with its effective date; across the rows, the comparison nobody publishes: how many of the jurisdictions we cover codify all seven principles, which exempt low-risk businesses, the spread of record-retention periods (one year in the EU's flexibility guidance against the eCFR's one- and two-year rules), and changed-since the previous read
8 candidate sentences on these pages were refused by a reviewer; each refusal and its reason is recorded in the review ledger.
