Franchise employers are separate. The CDC says the outbreak is over; the finding is not a statement that current food is unsafe. Programme descriptions do not establish workforce-wide outcomes.
- No independent human research review.
- Contrary-evidence search was targeted, not systematic.
- Some evidence is historical or its observation date is not established.
- Fewer than three dimensions have independent evidence.
